Why is There So Many Gay Crocodiles?

Fantastic news for gay Crocodiles, it appears that you Croc's have the ability to fight of the HIV virus -completely killing it off-.
Scientists in Australia's tropical north are collecting blood from crocodiles in the hope of developing a powerful antibiotic for humans, after tests showed that the reptile's immune system kills the HIV virus.I love how these amazing scientists find all of these great discoveries from the wild kingdom. Now the big question is, will they be able to make a serum that will work on humans? Also they have to track down the original Crocodile who began the spread of the virus in order to save the town -no wait that was a monkey in the movie Outbreak-!The crocodile's immune system is much more powerful than that of humans, preventing life-threatening infections after savage territorial fights which often leave the animals with gaping wounds and missing limbs.
"They tear limbs off each other and despite the fact that they live in this environment with all these microbes, they heal up very rapidly and normally almost always without infection," said U.S. scientist Mark Merchant, who has been taking crocodile blood samples in the Northern Territory.
In any event I may not be a bio engineer but I would conclude that this is the primary validation to the increased gay Crocodile population.
