Pity there were no Scots around to point out that’s no crocodile, it’s obviously Nessie.

It’s all a very cunning adaptation by the Greater British Crocodile - being able to disguise itself as a log of wood. It’s rather amazing - not only is it shaped like a log, it stiffly bobs up and down in the water in exactly the same manner as a piece of wood as well!

Were there any athletes around?

Here’s the first of three videos on how to make a life-size articulated wood crocodile that is truly spectacular! Jeff Sloan specializes in this type of woodwork, and gives a great step-by-step. I recommend watching through all three - or at least sneaking a peek at the finished animal. Had it been snaking down the river, people might have seriously wondered!

This is what I come to BB for, clever taxonomy jokes. :smile:

Thing is, the suspension bridge is about 250 feet above the river, so it’s pretty hard to see anything, let alone a log.
