bestiary: american crocodile

these guys live as long as humans. i didn't know that, like many of the animals i have and will be drawing, they're endangered. that's part of the point of this project of mine. i remembered from school that you can tell crocodiles from (american) alligators by their longer but thinner snouts. also, they don't like the cold as much as alligators. they seem to eat just about anything, including humans but that (apparently) is rare. crocodylus acutus in moleskine

american bullfrog

these guys moo. seriously. they sound like cows. which is awesome. it seems like they're pretty easy going. they live in many, many parts of north america, asia, south america, europe....nearly everywhere. seemingly like their cousins, they'll eat just about anything they can put in their mouths. insects. of course. mice? yup. snakes. ok, let's do it. birds. why not? wait, what? yeah, they eat birds. craziness. see? easy going. then again, some of the latter animals are also their predators so size matters here people. i didn't know that they hunt nocturnally. also, people eat their legs. bullfrogs, aside, calling them american bullfrogs only makes me think of budweiser commercials from back in the day. rana catesbeiana in moleskine
