Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about the famous crocodile Sweetheart. Sweetheart has been put into the Museum and Art Gallery of NT, which has all kinds of things on display; art, event boats - I wish they had model boats, that would be cool - but they had sailing ships. One had a steering wheel, one did not have a mast but the rest did - there were at least six big boats that were amazing - they were kept in a room that was hot, like the outside - I got very hot in there. We'll get to Sweetheart soon - but there are some more things I'd like to tell you. There was this little exhibition of all these stuffed creatures, first snakes and spiders, including red backs, and there was box jellyfish, a lionfish, poisonous coral and two skeletons of a ginormous emu and a small dinosaur. Now, let's get back to Sweetheart - he was not supposed to die and get stuffed - he was put to sleep by sleeping pills and then meant to be shipped off to a crocodile farm to be looked after - instead he fell overboard and drowned. As he was dead, the men who were moving him decided to give him to the museum, where he was stuffed. There is a lot more I wish to tell you, but it is time to go now.
