This cave was found a few years ago and was said to be about the size of 2 football fields.  But it is at great depths and very hard to get to.  Workers have to go down in body suits which help them keep themselves cool.  It is very rare to find these many crystals sprouting throughout one cave.  They also found crystalline "cauliflower" in these caves which is a type of mineral.  There were about one hundred giant crystals found in the cave.

It is very rare for a crocodile to attack an elephant and even more rare to gets pictures of it.  Even though the elephant is much bigger and stronger than the crocodile doesn't hesitate to attack.  The guides in the Zambian park said they never witnessed that before which just helps the fact that it is extremely rare.  But to no surprise the elephant won.

There are goats in Italy that have been photographed scaling walls of a dam.  The dam does have some cobble stones on it that help the goats hold on but they are practically climbing vertically.  There hard hoof allows them to grab on the the wall while the rubber inside serves as a "stopper".
