Only when these gruesome giants slowly stir does their monstrous power become apparent. One bite could split a tree. A slash of their tail could dent a car door. The Alligator genus originated between 38 and 26 million years ago. The Mississippi alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), also known as the pickerel alligator, lived in the southeastern United States for millions of years before the first humans arrived.

The teeth are also arranged differently: when the alligator's mouth is closed, only the upper jaw teeth are visible, while the crocodile's lower jaw teeth are also visible. Alligators prefer freshwater habitats, while crocodiles can also be found in saltwater. Alligator Alley is home exclusively to alligators, who are free to roam freely in their natural habitat.

Construction began in 1819, but due to its isolated location, the fort was not completed until 1834. Skilled masons, many of which were enslaved African Americans, built the fortification which contains more than 46 million cubic yards of bricks.

Fort Bowyer preceded Fort Morgan at Mobile Point. Fort Bowyer was constructed by the U.S. Army during 1813 to guard against possible British attack. This small log and sand fortification was attacked twice by the British during the War of 1812. The first attack made by four British warships and a combined force of British Royal Marines and Creek Indians came on September 15, 1814. The ensuing battle was a total American victory. One warship, the H.M.S. Hermes was sunk, and the marines and Creek Indians were forced to withdraw. During a second battle which took place during early February 1815, a combined British land and naval force forced the vastly outnumbered American troops to surrender the fort. By the terms of the treaty that ended the War of 1812, the British had to return Fort Bowyer to the United States.

Then the arsonist struck and set fire to several floors of the enormous building, which until ten years ago had housed a long-established furniture dealer.

It took the fire department eight hours to contain the flames. In these few hours, the house, recently sold for almost a million euros, has become a ruin that will likely have to be demolished.

Their debut album is named "Get Lost" and it was officially released only in 2024. The album contains eleven self-titled songs, thematically ranging from serious social issues to shared experiences, occasional ghost stories, to the band's penchant for peppermint liquor. Rage and fun, party and schnaps - this is the formula for an complete chaos.

What today looks like a lost ruin was once built as a “working people's clubhouse” on the instructions of the Soviet occupying troops in East Germany. As long as socialism reigned, world stars took part here. World-famous ensembles such as La Scala in Milan or the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow performed in the multifunctional theater building, which cost 1.8 million GDR marks, in front of the factory gate of one of Germany's largest chemical plants. The winding and confusing house, which monument conservationists described as having an “impressively metropolitan dimension” that was “of particular testament to the neoclassical monumental architecture of the GDR,” was a place where thousands of visitors gathered evening after evening.

But after 50 years the light went out in the lighthouse of culture, in which socialist people could experience artists close to their workbench and become artists themselves in so-called working groups of folk artists. Then a buyer came who wanted to invest more than 20 million euros. Excavators dug thousands of tons of earth out of the foundations, the building shell was gutted, fiberglass was laid, stairs were torn out, floors were broken through and partition walls were moved. Then the government blocked the additional payment of promised funds for the construction. And everything collapsed.

20 years later, all that remains is a proud ruin that attracts nuegieruges who wander in amazement through the halls, corridors and endless corridors.

Die, die hier sind, sind Fans der Frau im hellblauen Blazer, die mit frenetischem Applaus begrüsst wird. Wagenknecht lächelt schmal und macht es kurz: "Ich lese jetzt aus meinem Buch, das wird etwa 40 Minuten dauern." Sie lese nur das Vorwort, das sei am aktuellesten. "Obwohl auch der Rest nach wie vor aktuell ist."

Das Video dokumentiert den anschließenden spannenden Teil: Sahra Wagenknecht erklärt sich und ihre Weltsicht, ihre Pläne und die Überlegungen, die zur Gründung der neuen Partei Bündnis DSahra Wagenknecht - Für Vernunft und Gerechtigkeit" führten.

The water on the left is emerald green and so clear that the lake bottom can be seen. On the right, however, a rust-red lake glows in the sun: as if filled with blood, the body of water lies between brilliant white banks, just a few meters away from a third splash of color. The water surface here is indigo blue and it extends a few hundred meters to the north, where a cliff rises that is reminiscent of the white chalk cliffs of Rügen.

A landscape like the famous Yellowstone National Park in the US state of Wyoming, where volcanic processes over thousands of years have painted rocks, colored lakes and stamped fairy-tale structures into the surface.
