☆ Crocodiles ‘Enjoy’ Australia’s Beautiful Beaches

News Analysis: Crocodiles ‘Enjoy’ Australia’s Beautiful Beaches (almost as much as the Public), some Experts maintain. The surprise of Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) swimming in the Ocean dismays ‘Beach Goers’ but should NOT be thought of as ‘Unique’. The distances these Crocodiles can swim is thought by many experts to be remarkable. Since it is the biggest reptile is existence and the most ferocious of all Crocodile Species, it will attack any animal or person nearby. ‘Crocodylus porosus’ will eat Birds, Crustaceans, Fish, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles; (also Humans). 

Its location is in Northern Australia as well as Southern Asia.

When swimming in the warm, clear waters of this area, “The Public Must Stay Alert; The Lives They Save, May Be Their Own”, ‘Locals’ say.

Reality.

Birds’ V-Formation Is Partially A Matter Of Self-Orchestrated Timing

News Analysis: Avian Scientists studying the V-Formation Flight Characteristics of Birds have determined that each Bird in formation utilizes the Energy Contribution (EC) of the Bird immediately in front of them. The added wind current of the preceding Bird is used to lessen the Energy Requirements of the subsequent Bird.  The Birds learn where their individual flight position is optimal to attain the preceding bird’s ‘EC’. The “Loser” in the ‘EC’ exchange is the Lead Bird many observers might say.

Since some Scientists maintain that the “Head of the Flock” (Older and Wiser) is not necessarily the Lead Bird of a V-Formation, perhaps “Rank Has Its Privileges” in the Avian World also.

Reality.
