He seems to be ok driver (at least compared to your average pay-to-race rich idiots). The top few guys usually get almost all of the wins.

Look at me, defending Habsburg honor.

Gators are worryingly close to claiming another state from the black bears, too.




As you can see, their northernmost confirmed habitat is Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, on the south side of the Albemarle Sound. Directly across the Sound is the Elizabeth River, which drains the state-border-straddling Great Dismal Swamp via a drainage canal:



Alligators were once native to the area, although the winters are too cold for their preference and hunting destroyed the population in the 1900s. With protective legislation and a warming climate, all it would take for them to make a return is an expansion in the population just across the border and a few individuals to get adventurous.

Most of the big angry herps are gators, not crocs. The crocs are just the scariest.

Aside from the cat being a destructive invasive species, Hawaii probably just doesn't have large predators on account of being cut off from everything and as a result having relatively small animal populations that don't support predation sufficiently.

Edit: wait, are there no dogs in Hawaii?

The map says by weight, so clearly there's 135lbs cats in Hawaii and incredibly adorably tiny bears in Idaho, South Dakota, and Kansas.

Wouldn't the vast majority of professional sports players (or sports... whatevers for racing) in competitions with large numbers of competitors and only one winner have zero wins? Like do the majority of professional tennis players also have zero major wins? I mean I played like 100 hours of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and I was never the point leader, the best I ever got was second place.

But yeah being a rich noble sounds awesome. Being an actual top-level royal sounds like living hell and I would never trade a middle class lifestyle for being in the immediate family of any royal. I can't even imagine how terrible it would be to have a bunch of paparazzi follow you and publicize and dramatize every second of your life from birth until death and I would not trade a complete and utter loss of anonymity for 100 million dollars. Maybe being a top level royal is OK if you're in like House of Liechtenstein where even in Switzerland no one knows who cares who you are.

What's commonly called a "brown bear" is actually a black bear. At least, here it is. Black bears don't necessarily have to be black.
