xoxoxoBruce Tuesday Mar 24 01:52 AMMar 24, 2009: Robo-Croc
Robo-Croc is a 10-foot male crocodile that got his head run over by a car.
This happened down in the Florida Keys last December... probably there for the Christmas holidays.
Anyway, he was taken to Miami's Metrozoo, but they didn't think he'd make it because his broken snout was hanging limp.
As if a limp snout wasn't depressing enough, he couldn't eat, and after three months things looked pretty grim.
Then Douglas Mader, of the Marathon Veterinary Hospital, decided to cure him or kill him.
Instead of going in an splicing bones with screws and metal bits, like the do with people, Robo-Croc is spliced on the outside.
Time will tell how long he makes it, but at least he doesn't have a limp snout.
He may have a future in horror films and children's nightmares, too.

capnhowdy Tuesday Mar 24 08:06 AMRemove all metal splicings prior to ingestion. Cook thoroughly till internal temperature is 160 degrees.

birdclaw Tuesday Mar 24 10:24 AMYa know if that would have been a homeless person they probably wouldn't even have been taken to a hospital.

Shawnee123 Tuesday Mar 24 10:33 AMNever smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots ot etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile

Hillrick Tuesday Mar 24 12:57 PMWhat's up?
We already have a healthy amount of comments and no one has connected this alligators free health care to the current socialist government? Must still be waiting for the talking points to be delivered...
Anyhoo, cool story Mr Bruce.

that's OK, 'cause you could just load them up in their EDAR gurneys and give 'em a shove in the right direction

I would assume it's because they didn't know what to do. What they did do was a shot in the dark, so they waited until it was absolutely necessary or the gator would die.

Why did they leave a gaping hole in his upper jaw? Couldn't they screw on a metal plate or use duct tape?
xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 28 08:03 PMThat doesn't look 3 months old, maybe it's a new wound?
