RE: There is a population of dwarf crocodiles (Osteolaemus tetraspis) in Gabon that live their entire lives inside a cave, and has orange skin because of acidic bat guano

in #nature7 years ago

It's obvious that cave dwarf crocodiles have few different genes thats why they adopt different living style. Amazing thing about cave dwarf crocodile is that with such a big body they rely only on bats, insects and frogs. Orange color dwarf means crocodile who consume a lot of bat. Nice info about dwarf crocodile

Yeah, it's really amazing that this big animal is able to live off the small food sources it has in the caves. Just imagine how many bats and insects it would need to be full!

Yes, may be this is the law of nature. So we have good control over growth of insects in this way. As you told in previous post the aardwolf eat million of termite at one time. Think what happens if these monsters don't consume so much species at a time.

Yeah, that's true. Insects can multiply at an insane rate if conditions are right for them, and a few individuals can become million of them in only a few months.
