Oh, great! Not only do they swim really well, and run about 30mph, they now perch in trees!

Quote:
As far as discoveries go, this is a somewhat terrifying one, assuming one has a healthy respect for crocodiles on the ground: They can climb and perch in trees, and really climb, with researchers spotting them more than a dozen feet from the ground.

While anecdotal reports have placed the reptiles in trees in Mississippi, Colombia, and along the Nile, only three references to such behavior appear in scientific literature.

Maybe with a little training, a good coon dog could tree a croc. :roll:
