    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Orange dwarf cave crocodiles

“The crocs that crawled into a cave, ate bats, and started mutating into a new species”

“The skin of dwarf crocodiles found living in a cave in Gabon is turning orange from swimming in guano. It's unclear how long they've been down there, but genetic research indicates they may be morphing into a new species.”

Name: Cave-dwelling dwarf crocodiles (Osteolaemus tetraspis)

Where it lives: Abanda cave system, Ogooue-Maritime Province, Gabon

What it eats: Cave crickets and bats

“Deep inside one of Gabon's cave systems lives an unusual population of orange dwarf crocodiles. They live in complete darkness, feast on bats and swim in liquid guano (aka bat poop.)”
