Abstract
- The article mentions the discovery of dwarf crocodiles living in the Abanda caves in Gabon that were living off of bats and crickets in the caves and states that some of the crocodiles were orange in color as a result of urea in bat guano which makes the water basic and erodes away crocodile skin.
