Crocodile Swims Like a Dolphin

Hello Friends,

In early September 2020, a fisherman in North Queensland, Australia, disturbed a local saltwater crocodile called ‘Tommy’. Robert Dunn was fishing from his small aluminum boat when he spooked the crocodile who came up, had a hissy fit and growled.

Robert then filmed the 4.5 metre (15 foot) long crocodile swimming beside his boat in a dolphin-like way. Tommy was longer than the fisherman’s boat. The water was shallow and Robert says the crocodile bounced off the bottom of the river and came up for air. Watch the video, the swimming crocodile is awesome, powerful, and BIG.

Take care,
Love to all,

Earth’s water originally came from?

 

Earth’s water originally came from?
 
Space rocks perhaps. Meteorites yield water.
Hydrogen bonded to oxygen equals water.
 

Hello Friends,
 
Cosmochemist Laurette Piani from the Université de Lorraine new study found the ingredients to form water were held in the minerals inside rocks that formed Earth.
 
Space rocks have similar hydrogen properties to earth’s mantle. The new research suggests earth contained water from its early beginnings, rather than previous theories that water formed later when elements from the Big Bang and dying stars showered onto earth.
 
Interestingly, a meteorite that landed in Murchison, Australia, contained water, carbon and amino acids. Read more here,  Earth's water 

Take care,
