Knowledge nugget 1

I shall now impart some of the knowledge and trivia, I have accumulated over the past week. Though most of it is Biology,let's begin! 

Numero uno is that the difference between alligators and crocodiles are their mouths. Now I want you to picture these two side by side. Surely you would imagine a croc to be big and large, and jaws wide enough to tear meat from any prey, and  an alligator thin and spindly, with a narrow jaw. sadly, it's the other way around. you see Alligators have the bigger jaw while crocs have the longer one. 


This bomb hit me hard, So while we were on topic of animals, he then proceeded to ask me about hedgehogs and scorpions. The answer to the question was pretty simple considering the circumstances. If a scorpion would sting a hedgehog who would die first.
 Having at least a smidgen of common sense I went with the scorpion. I was right. As you may know, hedgehogs are 40%ish immune to poison or at least is resistant to it. By the time the poison to spread to the hedgehog the scorpion would have been digested by then, also there's no guarantee that the hedgehog would be poisoned at all, what a waste of good poison.
