For all the years I knew my grandma, she could barely see. Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of

every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room. I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty."

She seemed to have no trouble identifying the characters whom she could barely see. Whether or not she could bring them into sharp focus, they were as real to her as her giggling grandkids.

Problems of the<br>story in the jaw<br>the alligators ​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Did you know that the jaws of most crocodiles and alligators can be held closed with a rubber band? Their jaws close with tremendous force and sink into prey with tons of pressure (alligator = 2,980 psi [pounds per square inch] — Crocodile = 5,000 psi), but the muscles that open the jaws are weak.
