Baru

Baru is an extinct genus of Australian mekosuchine crocodilian. It was semi-aquatic, around 4 m (13 ft) in length. Being semi-aquatic its habitat was around fresh pools of water in wet forests, ambushing their prey, much like modern species. The word Baru is Aboriginal and means "crocodile's ancestor".

Fossils have been found in Australia at Riversleigh in north-western Queensland and Alcoota Station it the Northern Territory.

Species

There are currently three valid species within the genus Baru. The type species B. darrowi is known from the Middle Miocene of the Northern Territory and is the largest reaching size of 4–5 m in length, whilst two older species, B. huberi and B. wickeni are known from the Late Oligocene Etadunna Formation of Queensland.

    Baru may refer to:

  • Baru, Hunedoara, a commune in Hunedoara County, Romania
  • Baru Tree, a tree, Dipteryx alata
  • Volcán Barú, a volcano in Panama
  • Baru or Baroo, a town in the Punjab province of Pakistan
  • Baru, Iran, a village in Tehran Province, Iran

  • Volcán Barú

    The Volcán Barú (also Volcán de Chiriqui) is an active stratovolcano and the tallest mountain in Panama, at 3,474 metres (11,398 ft) high. It lies about 35 km off the border of Costa Rica.

    Due to its height and Panama's relatively short width, it is possible (though relatively rare) to see both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea from Volcán Barú's peak on a clear day.

    Geography

    The small town of El Volcan at the base of El Baru sits on the remnants of a huge lahar that appears to have breached the caldera. A small river has eroded the lahar exposing an ancient forest below dated to about 1000 years old (Stewart, pers. communication).

    Volcán Barú is surrounded by a fertile area of cool highlands drained by the Chiriquí Viejo and Caldera Rivers. The towns of Volcán and Cerro Punta can be found on its western side, while Boquete is on the eastern flank.

    The occasional fall of hail or ice pellets has been reported on the summit, where the minimum temperature can be below 0 °C (32 °F) and the formation of frost is frequent during the dry season. The peak is host to a large installation of broadcast towers.

    Ich Lieb' Dich

    by: Pur

    Ein gebrochener Arm, ein gebrochenes Herz
    Mitten im Höhenflug, ein Häufchen Elend
    Dann diese Augen, Dein Blick
    Bringt die Wende, bringt mir Glück
    Hast mich getröstet, hast mich gepflegt
    Bedingungslos, freier Eintritt in meine Seele
    Schlafende Geister geweckt
    Dummheit gedeckt
    Neuen Mut in mich hineingelacht
    Mich belebt mit Deiner großen Macht
    Ja, das kaum Geglaubte doch geschafft
    Ich hab zwar lang gebraucht, gezögert
    Doch endlich muß es raus
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Anfangs war es ein Rausch, doch der Kater blieb aus
    Und Du, Schatz und Maus, hast mich gefangen
    Gelockt und mit dem, was mich reizt
    Nicht gegeizt
    Ich fühl' mich eifersüchtig wohl nach Dir
    Bitte tu' was sich nicht gehört mit mir
    Nimm den netten Jungen und das Tier
    Oh, nimm Dir, was ich brauch'
    Und hol' das Beste aus mir raus
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Wir spiel'n das Biest und die Schöne
    doch welche Rolle spiel' ich?
    Nein, daß Du zweifellos schön bist
    Nein, das bestreit ich nicht
    Doch zum Glück bist du auch ein Biest
    Ich krieg' Dich, verlaß' Dich drauf
    Ich krieg' Dich, ich geb' nicht auf
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest
    Oh, ich lieb' Dich...
