You thought lobster was expensive...
The Blue-Fin Tuna, found in Northern Japan, sell for an average of $10k(US).
One prime fish is reported to have been sold for close to $200k...
Two thin slices of BFT Sushi may cost at $100 in a Tokyo Restaurant.

Here's another useless fact:
If you scratch a pig's back it will fall through its knees.

apparently, the muscles that open a crocodile's mouth are very weak, in contrast with those that snap it shut, which of course are very powerful. it seems that you can actually hold a crocodile's mouth shut with your hands quite easily, if you disregard the fact that it is likely to be thrashing about a bit if you do this. also, this is unlikely to be much use in a crisis as the crocodile will probably have its mouth open with the intent of grabbing you, dragging you underwater, rolling you around to disorient you, then stffing you into an underwater crevice to decay, so it can come back and devour your rotting flesh. this being the case, you should probably go for the eyes...
crocodiles can also run pretty fast (faster than you over a short distance) and can even climb a little...

BTW did you know that:
The planet Venus does not tilt as it goes around the Sun, so consequently, it has no seasons. On Mars, however, the seasons are more exaggerated and last much longer than on Earth. 🙄
