I learned from QI about this little fellow: cam.ac.uk/research/news/sec...

Apparently the scientists are exited since their bodies seem to be able to fight cancer. Could it be made beneficial to humans? Since we are waiting for my father’s back scan, and I’m anxious, I will spend the afternoon learning as much as I can about this little animal.

Wonderful start of the abstract:

”Crocodiles exist in unsanitary environments, feed on rotten meat, are often exposed to heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, mercury, nickel, lead, selenium, tolerate high levels of radiation, and are amid the very few species to survive the catastrophic Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, nonetheless they can live for up to a 100 years. ”
