Balance of Power


September 23, 2017

The killing of a powerful leader has left a power vacuum, and the fight to take his place may pose a serious danger to people in the area he ruled.

Nope, not talking about world powers today…

The downed leader was the dominant saltwater crocodile in an area of Queensland, Australia. He was illegally shot last week. Now wildlife officials are expecting increased crocodile activity as the younger males struggle for control. People using the Fitzroy River are warned to be especially careful in the next few weeks, as the power struggle may make the males more aggressive.

At least they’re not using nukes.
