Most people believe crocodiles to be vicious creatures. However, this is not always the case. Although freshwater crocodiles are not known for being violent, they typically attack prey—especially humans—out of self-defense. They can also attack as the result of mistaken identity.

Crocodiles are said to be hostile. Aggression levels, however, differ between different species. The king of crocs and most vicious are saltwater crocodiles, or “salties.” These crocodiles exhibit some hostility even as juveniles.

Pigeons are of various colors, from black to white, brown, blue, and gray. However, due to selective breeding, we can get unique pigeon colors with different wing patterns. In most cases, pigeons produce melanin, which determines their coloring.

Did you know that crocodiles can move in six distinct ways? And you thought they only swim in the water and crawl on land. But in actuality, this toothy reptile can swim, crawl, dive, belly-crawling, and high-walking. Crocodiles can also gallop over short distances. Incredible, isn’t it?

Passenger pigeons are extinct species of pigeons that once existed in abundance across North America. In the early 1800s, eastern North America was home to billions of these birds. Due to its migratory behavior, this species received its name from the French word passager, which means “passing by.”

Pigeons are black, as well as other colors with shades of red, blue, and even silver. Through selective breeding, we can also get different shades of black along with other unique colors. Fancy pigeons are used for exhibitions and for domestication.

Pigeons are not blind and, in fact, have a spectacular vision. Like humans, they can see color, even ultraviolet light, which we cannot see. This is why they are often used in rescue missions for people and ships lost at sea.

Crocodiles are semi-aquatic beings who alternate between land and sea. Being in the water helps them cool down after basking in the sun since crocodiles are cold-blooded animals. Besides, they mostly hunt for their prey (which includes insects, fishes, frogs, etc.) in the water, particularly at night.
