sorry kneilca => animal.discovery.com
their legs are way too short with long tail and belly on the ground to get any real speed going
I believe you about the smarties though!

Hmm. Thanks for the correction. I'll have to go back to my source. It is either wrong or perhaps it was an alligator. TBC...
|
|
Nope. Not alligators, either. Still about 10 mi/hr top speed. There is some disinformation out there. Galloping is not necessarily as fast as a horse.
|
|
hahaha - not trying to be a smart a.., sorry for correcting your fun fact
some misinformation mixed in with facts is ok - like Ripley's!

One of my more embarrassing moments was using information I read on from a Wikipedia article to support a certain point I was making. When I returned to the article for citation specs, it had changed.

My source was the venerable Bathroom Reader. It is usually accurate, but I can see how this one could get confused. So-called "galloping" crocodiles actually gallop like a horse, but no where nearly as fast.
