Beach Notes: Sandimal 3 - Cedric The Crocodile

This is our third “Sandimal” post, this time with the sand sculpture of a crocodile we have dubbed Cedric.

The challenge we had with coming up with a few thoughts prompted by Cedric was that some of them were frankly scary. Although for Cedric it’s just about getting dinner on time.

Then we thought that a couple of things that have enabled Cedric’s kind to survive through 200 million years is that somewhere along the line they became very observant and very fast to take action at the right time, from apparent total inertia to explosive movement.

So here’s the thought. Secrets of survival – be highly observant and move very fast when opportunity knocks. In business it’s called “speed to market”.

    It’s a great sand sculpture of a crocodile! And a very nice piece of lesson you got there too, in which I totally agree. It pays to be observant and quick.

    What a load of croc- lets be brutal Cedric has survived because he keeps his head down, happy in a swamp and eats things smaller and weaker than itself.

    Dape,
    That’s one way to look at it. Not a lot of humanity in those thoughts. I’d rather go with the metaphor. Thanks! :)
