Short Stuff: Ramree Island Crocodile Massacre

Josh and Chuck dive into the legendary World War II story of the Ramree Island Crocodile Massacre, where supposedly 900 Japanese soldiers were devoured by saltwater crocodiles in a single horrifying night in 1945. They explore how this wild tale originated from a respected naturalist's account and became accepted as historical fact, while also examining the impressive and dangerous saltwater crocodiles that inhabit Southeast Asian waters. But as the hosts dig deeper into military records and eyewitness accounts, they uncover what really happened during that fateful battle in the mangrove swamps off Myanmar.
