"Climbing behavior is common among crocodilians," reads a new study in Herpetology Notes. The study includes a picture of a Mississippi gator perched on the branch of a tree. Is that a smile on its face? And there's this tidbit: "One adult dwarf crocodile escaped from its enclosure at the Bristol Zoo ... by climbing up a tree growing at an angle and then over the barrier."
Seriously.
