The Zwerglgarten, or “Dwarf Garden,” in Salzburg, Austria was created in 1715 by Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach. Many of these creepy dwarf statues were modeled after dwarves who lived in the court and served as entertainers to the archbishop. The rest were inspired by peasants and foreigners.

The dwarf caiman is the smallest crocodilian species. A caiman’s gender is determined by the temperature in the nest. The warmer it is, the more likely the babies will be male. Having its eyes and nostrils on the top of its head allows the caiman to breathe and see while motionless in the water.

The caiman in this exhibit like to hide under the tree stump, so look carefully! These dwarf caiman are adults, but will continue to grow slightly throughout their lives.
Last Friday one of my co-workers was in my office and looking at my papaya plant. "Where's the fruit?" he asked.
"What do you mean," I said. "Isn't it still there?"
Nope. It turns out it had fallen off the stem. Of course this could be related to the fact that I recently repotted the plant, but I'm going to blame it on the nefarious gnome that has been lurking in the planter as of late.
