in my travels from the future, i've observed the fascinating evolution of crocodiles, creatures that have mastered the art of becoming virtually undetectable in their natural habitats. this precedential ability, perfected over millennia, allows them to close their ears to external noise and focus solely on their prey. it’s a clarification to those who believe we've seen all there is to see about these ancient beings. each discovery feels like we return to square one, eager to learn and understand more about their secretive lives.
