Crocodiles have been recorded attacking and killing Leopards before, but never the other way around.. until now.





Go Leopard! Hope the meat was worth it .

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Dang. You would think that a leopard would have a pretty tough time getting through a crocodile's hide.

That'd be awesome. It actually wouldn't' surprise me that Microsoft goes to some lame animal name for their OS.

It's really good too. Weird that the meats are somewhat similar given that they're to different species. Until I saw and tasted for myself I always thought it would look and taste more like beef.

I find that interesting. Jaguars are known to eat them.

Crocodiles are actually fairly closely related to birds:

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Indeed. But then again, emu tastes like beef.



So does ostrich.

For some reason when looking at the thread title I thought it had something to do with Mac vs Windows at first.

Ostrich tastes a lot like Buffalo. But i prefer kangaroo tail over either of them. But I do hate ostriches so I'm happy to eat them as I can.

Never had croc but I've had alligator, which tastes a lot like shark.

That's almost as obscure as saying it tastes like sh¡t.

I'm curious if more people have tried shark or poo.

Not really. In Trinidad we used to eat shark all the time. A shark sandwich, known as Bake & Shark is very popular there. The "Bake" is a fried bread that is cut in have and stuff with battered and fried shark meat. They have a wide assortment of toppings to put on your sandwich. (My favorite being shadow bennie).

Not really.

When you buy "fish and chips", at least in Australia, chances are you're eating flake (shark).

Anyway, croc tastes like Turkey, not fish.

Strange fact: ostriches are sexually attracted to human beings.

Charles Paxton, in collaboration with Norma Bubier, Phil Bowers, and Charles Deeming received the Biology Prize for their report on the “Courtship Behavior of Ostriches Towards Humans Under Farming Conditions in Britain.”

The team performed the experiment during the early ’90s when Britain was having an Ostrich breeding craze. However, the ostriches refused to breed amongst themselves. The team soon found out that the sexual behavior that the ostriches did display was directed towards humans instead.

“At no stage in my entire life have I had so many obvious passes in so short a period of time,” Paxton said. “Though unfortunately for me it was another species.”

You need to get out more. Shark is delicious. Never had poo, but I'm skeptical.

I've had shark both in soup and in Fish And Chips. I tend to stay away from it though.
