When the body temperature sinked under 30°C, crocodiles takes a sunbath – their body hasn’t any isolation and so the body cool down very quick, especially the water is cold.

Banteay Srei is an exquisite small temple complex from the 10th century, dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. It is also called ‘Pavilion of the Women’ for the small scale of its size and beautiful carvings of such detail that they may have been carved by the small hands of women. It is built of red sandstone, a material that can be carved into elaborate decorations, and the carvings at Banteay Srei are said to be some of the finest stone carving anywhere on earth. This view shows the mandapa (entrance hall to the main sanctuary).

Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

The ruins of Pompeii are located near the modern suburban town of Pompei (nowadays written with one ‘i’). It stands on a spur formed by a lava flow to the north of the mouth of the Sarno River (known in ancient times as the Sarnus).

Today it is some distance inland, but in ancient times was nearer to the coast. Pompeii is about 8 km (5.0 mi) away from Mount Vesuvius. It covered a total of 64 to 67 hectares (170 acres) and was home to approximately 11,000 to 11,500 people on the basis of household counts.[4] It was a major city in the region of Campania.
