Happy World Croc Day! 🐊

World Croc Day is celebrated annually on June 17. It is a global awareness day dedicated to highlighting the importance of crocodilians, celebrating their evolutionary history, and advocating for the conservation of endangered crocodilians.

Crocodilia are an order of mostly large, predatory, semi-aquatic Archosaurian reptiles.

It was first established in 2017 by the Crocodile Research Coalition and passionate conservationists, the day aims to educate the public about the severe threats these keystone predators face, including habitat loss, climate change, and illegal poaching.

Why Crocodilians Matter:

•Wetland Guardians: As apex predators, they maintain the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems by controlling prey populations and shaping habitats.

•Survival Legends: Crocodilians have roamed the Earth for over 200 million years, surviving the mass extinctions that wiped out the dinosaurs.

How You Can Get Involved:

•Learn and Share: Discover educational content and campaigns from the Crocodile Research Coalition or explore conservation initiatives from organizations like World Animal Protection.

•Visit Wildlife Centers: Many zoos and aquariums host special feeding and educational events to celebrate the holiday locally.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.
