I thought it was funny enough to post, but even as I was posting it I was thinking that that looked a whole lot more like a alligator than a crocodile. Awful dang wide snout.

[Alpo]

Brazos, you're confused?

 

 

Alligators - top picture - have a wide snout, while crocodiles - bottom picture - have a narrow snout.

 

The crocodilian in the picture and question (IN QUESTION, otto you dork) appeared to be an alligator, from the width of his snout.

Excellent photos for the comparison! Thanks!

I don't want to meet either of them out in the wild, regardless of where I am.

I've seen gators from a distance, and that is fine with me. 

And I doubt if I'll ever make it down under to see a real croc. Or a magpie. Or any of the other killer animals y'all have down there.

Spiders and snakes and drop bears, oh, my!

Hate to surprise you, but there's crocodiles in the US, too. 

 

Down in Florida.  There's not a lot of them, they don't have a big range qnd and they are listed as threatened. I don't think that the American crocodile is as big as the saltwater crocodile.

I lost a brown croc at Corroboree Billabong, could be mine (except that's another Gator).

For our Yank mates Corroboree Billabong is a famous Barramudi Fishing spot up in the NT and probably one of the highest concentration of Crocs in the country (up there with Shady Camp, probably the highest).

THE DINGO FENCE - 1885

Nature and Parks Coober Pedy.

It is the longest fence in the world, the Dingo or Dog Fence, and you can see a section of this 5,600 km barrier near the Kanku-Breakaways, 15km from Coober Pedy.

Built in 1885 to protect the sheep in the southern states, by keeping out dingoes and other wild dogs. Originally 8,614 km long, it was shortened in the 1980's.

This phenomenal fence spans from Queensland in the north-east to the Great Australian Bight in South Australia in the south to protect the south-eastern farms.

Protection measures against dingoes by this fence, include a height of up to 2 metres and it extends 30 cm into the ground to prevent digging underneath. Other measures along the fence include lighting and poison bait traps.

The Dingo Fence is made of wooden posts connected by wire mesh (electric in some sections) and much of it is lit at night by alternating red and white fluorescent lamps and patrolled by a staff of 23 full-time employees.

It costs almost $750,000 to maintain each year, but it's still not 100 percent effective. Dingoes do get through—sometimes when wild camels smash holes in the fence

Feral introduced bastards numbered well over a million and shot in their thousands and thousands and thousands and it doesn't make a dent in their numbers.

I have been reloading ammo for over 25 years. I think I am pretty good at it, but no matter how good you are you can make mistakes. 
I run a single stage Lee press with Breech Lock adapters. Really nifty little gadgets that make changing does quick and easy and you don’t have to reset or adjust them once you have them set. 
Today I was humming right along loading. Some .357 Magnum and I planed yo finish up the .357 and move right into reloading .38 Special so I had both sets of dies on the bench and both die boxes were open. 
I had finished seating 100 bullets in 100 cases and moving to the last step of crimping. I grabbed my Factory Crimp die and as I stuck in the press and locked it in I thought to myself “Gee, that die sure does look stubby” without giving it any other thought I crimped a .357 round.

The press handle had a very strange feel to it. Almost like pushing a sharp knife through a watermelon.

 

I knew immediately what I did. While cussing myself under my breath I swapped out the .38 and .357 dies then finished crimping the remaining 99 rounds.

 

That round will sit in a prominent spot on my reloading bench as a reminder to PAY ATTENTION!
