| Crocodile eats beloved terrier that spent a decade taunting it Posted: 06 Jun 2018 05:14 AM PDT  A crocodile in Australia has eaten a small dog that had taunted it for a decade and was famous for chasing the eleven-foot reptile into the water. To the horror of guests at a riverside lodge who had gathered to watch the spectacle, the saltwater crocodile did not scurry towards the water as the dog ran at its head. Instead, as the dog's owner, Kai Hansen, said, the crocodile "did what crocs do" and clenched the dog in its teeth before returning to the water. Mr Hansen said he was "really sad" and had not watched the graphic footage of the incident, which was captured by onlookers. But he said he did not blame the 220-pound crocodile for attacking his 15-pound dog. Casey the crocodile on Goat Island "It was something that had a high probability of happening sometime," Mr Hansen told ABC News. "She's not doing something wrong, she's just doing what crocs do. In the early days she actually had a go at me a couple of times. These days I just throw food out from up the top and no-one is allowed to walk down there." Mr Hansen runs the Goat Island Lodge, a ramshackle lodge on the crocodile-infested Adelaide River, south of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Guests captured footage of the dog being eaten and could be heard gasping and yelling expletives. A crocodile expert, Adam Britton, said the creature should not be destroyed for eating the dog and may not necessarily attack humans. He said crocodiles which attacked people effectively learnt how to target "large prey items". "The dog got right up close to the crocodile's head," Mr Britton told ABC News. "That basically triggers a reflex reaction, and a crocodile, if you get that close to its head, it doesn't even think about it — it will just strike. If a crocodile attacks a person it's a little bit different because … that can potentially lead to it getting [another] large prey item, to put it bluntly." Mr Britton said the incident was a reminder to people to stay away from crocodile habitats, particularly if small dogs were present.

| More building blocks of life found on Mars Posted: 07 Jun 2018 12:55 PM PDT  A NASA robot has detected more building blocks for life on Mars -- the most complex organic matter yet -- from 3.5 billion-year-old rocks on the surface of the Red Planet, scientists said Thursday. The unmanned Curiosity rover has also found increasing evidence for seasonal variations of methane on Mars, indicating the source of the gas is likely the planet itself, or possibly its subsurface water. While not direct evidence of life, the compounds drilled from Mars' Gale Crater are the most diverse array ever taken from the surface of the planet since the robotic vehicle landed in 2012, experts say.
