Record Swim for a Crocodile.

How far can crocodile swim? Per-
haps it would be more practical to ask
how far crocodiles do swim? ]. Stan
ley Gardiner claims the record for a
crocodile (Crocodilus porosus) that
recently landed in the Fiji islands,
where he took its photograph. No
crocodiles of this species inhabit the
FIJI islands, and the nearest spot
where they are known to live is the
New Hebrides, $50 miles distant.
Therefore, this crocodile must have
swan 6S3 miles In the open sea. II
anyone knows Of crocodile that
wants to challenge this record, he
should write to the editor of the Eng.
lish magazine Nature.
