    cole… it’s crocodile and panda.

    bb… if it’s closed tight, maybe not much. Besides, it’s not like they are putting the tomb in the backyard lol.

    Hmmm interesting, the crocodile sort of looks more like an iguana or some kind of lizard to me. I would think the snout would be longer for a croc.

    Ancient crocodile lol? Nah… just kidding, it’s obviously lizards and turtles.
