Things You Won't Believe Crocodiles Are Learning to Do

Soo recently I have read an article concerning crocodiles and their nature habits..
The thing is, recently those hard scaled meat chomping reptiles have learnt to actually CLIMB TREES
Its scary enough to know you might encounter one of them while swimming in rivers but to see them above you on trees is taking horror to a whole new level

when you thought it was safe to build a tree house or pluck mangos from trees,

SURPRISE!! *CHOMP CHOMP*
THERE GOES AN ARM.

Apparently scientists have theorized that the reason was because they are probably trying to control their body temperature by basking under the sunlight. As much as I think that its cool that these reptiles have evolved to become prime predators in rivers, being face to face with one will definitely send me running back home and hiding under the blankets.
