Great photos, I love crocs.

Brian, a rushed link, you've mentioned tall dorsal spines before, I just noticed them in the arboreal potto, they protect against raptors. I didn't expect an arboreal primate to have those. Makes me wonder if some archosaurs were more arboreal than thought. Did pterosaurs attack only small prey? link
