    If a big heart is meant to mean kindness, do you really think the Blue Whale is the kindest mammal on the planet?...

    How about this... did anyone realise how big these salt water crocodiles are in Darwin Australia..? They are 17 feet tall and weigh up to 2,000 tons

    People pay up to go down in a cage to visit with them..

    Those crocodiles are HUGE, @Holly Saunders ! I didn’t even know that some crocodiles were salt water, but it makes sense now that I think about it.

    Most don't. There is a species of crocodile called the Saltwater Crocodile, which is what these are. They are the largest and most aggressive of the crocodiles. Another species, the American Crocodile, prefers brackish water or rivers but is often found in the Caribbean, particularly around the Dominican Republic. They have also been found in southern Florida.

    Something that large “might” consider my 221 Lbs to be a suitable appetizer but not much more.

    Anyone been this close to a wind turbine Blade?... I remember driving up a mountain in Spain and getting closer and closer to the top of the wind turbines, and gasping at the size of them, and they were still probably hundreds of yards away from us, and they looked enormous ...
