You never know about some folks...
Well, I wouldn't have expected it... but it appears that Atsali's and Castela's previous guardian, Mr. Meadows, may actually have been a bit of a social climber.

Re: You never know about some folks...
Given that crocs climb that high seemingly to keep an eye out for prey and/or threats, wouldn't that make them antisocial climbers?

Re: You never know about some folks...
I suppose that whether they're social climbers, or antisocial climbers, depends to some extent on whether they are willing to share the prey they catch with their family and friends.
And, of course, on whether they deceptively call "Help! Help!" before dropping down upon their prey.

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

I remember that one. Not only did most of the seventh graders fall for it but a large number of the parents did as well.DinkyInky wrote:I'm waiting for it to be another Pacific Tree Octopus...

Re: You never know about some folks...
Yes, it was very well done. The people who designed the site did a marvelous job of attributing to the "Tree Octopus" a large number of sightings and remains which were actually due to the relict population of anomalocaris in that area.

Re: You never know about some folks...
So perhaps the crocodiles are climbing the trees to get to the octopi who wandered too far from the Pacific Northwest. Or maybe to reach the tasty spaghetti that is growing in the trees.
I have on occasion seen young crocs on tree branches, or larger individuals on the trunks of very slanted trees hanging over the water. I've yet to see a large one thirty feet up in a vertical tree, though.

You'd expect the Pacific Tree Octopus to live on the *wet* side of the Olympic Mountains. Over near Forks or Quillayute. Not along Hood Canal, which is the southern part of the *dry* side. The rainfall difference runs from 35 inches a year near the south end of the Canal to 64 inches per year at the north end.
Re: You never know about some folks...
Picky, picky, picky. You'd probably ruin the fun by pointing out that the fabled Alberta Snow Snake wouldn't be out on a 5 degree day because they only come out of their permafrost nest when it's -15 or colder.
