Crocodiles can bypass their lungs for improved digestion
2008-02-05 09:51:00 A new research on American alligators' circulation systems has shown that crocodilians bypass their lungs to improve digestion and increase chances of their long-term survival in the wild. While it has long been known that reptiles have the ability to shunt blood past their lungs, the physiological function of this ability is poorly understood. But now, Professor C.G. Farmer and her colleagues at the University of Utah, along with the Utah Artificial Heart Institute, were able to demonstrate through their experiments with American alligators that the bypass function is central in their digestion process, and ultimately, their survival. After feasting, crocodilians like to find a warm place to lie down while they digest their meal. Although on the outside this behavior seems ordinary, inside their bodies an extraordinary event takes place. According to the research, during this period of digestion, crocodilians divert blood through a special vessel that...

Manghopir: Shrine, Crocodiles and Sulfur Springs
2007-10-20 13:00:00 Owais Mughal One of the faint memories of my childhood is our visit to the Crocodile pond of Manghopir. Manghopir crocodiles idling in the pit. photo credits from hereFor more than seven hundred years Manghopir was located north of present day Karachi but in the last twenty years or so it has almost become part of the Karachi city proper.Manghopir is famous for three major attractions. First is the shrine of Saint Sakhi Sultan which is located on a hill at an altitude of approximately 600 ft. Adjacent to the shrine is the second attraction in the form of a crocodile pond with a hundred plus docile crocodiles lying lazily. A kilometer away from this shrine-crocodile pit complex is the third attraction in the form of hot water sulfur springs. Manghopir crocodiles basking in the winter sun.Who was Pir Mangho? This is a question shrouded in mystery which is laced with both myths and facts. The myths seem to have an upper hand on facts. Among all other things it is also not clear that wh...

River of Crocodiles
2006-11-09 00:36:00 Day nine brought us to the Carara Biological Preserve. Apparently, “carara†means “river of crocodilesâ€, and that must have been true because I saw a number of them. I also was in a group that was lucky enough to see the rare scarlet Macaw. Pretty exciting for us! After wandering through this park, we had lunch, and continued onward.Our next stop was a place called Sarchi where we saw handpainted ox carts and other crafts. I’m not much for crafts, so this part didn’t impress me as much as it did others. My new friends seemed to love it!Grecia, a metal church, was next and made for some interesting photographs. We got a number of good shots of all of us standing in front of it. Great mementos for now when we are all at home.The Costa Rican coffee plantation was next. We got to pick some beans and sample the delicious coffee. I have to say that part of the trip was great. I love coffee!Finally, we returned to San José. We were back where we started at the Barc... |
