Daily activities: Crocodiles do just about all of nothing during the day. They sit on the river banks in the sun to stay warm and will occasionally go into the water to cool off. When on land, they sit with their mouths agape to dispel heat and get their teeth cleaned by small riverside birds. This slow lifestyle requires very little energy so the crocodiles don’t need to eat very often

Habitat: Crocodiles are creatures of habitat and will find a nice spot where they will come back to every day. They are found in the Caribbean, most of Africa, rarely Asia and America, and of course, the Nile River in Africa.

Diet: Crocodilians are opportunists like the giant squid. They will pretend to be a log or something and wait until they have a perfect shot on a drinking gazelle, water buffalo, or very rarely a young hippopotamus. They will not attack the adult hippos because they know they are too large to be taken down, so the two live mostly peacefully in in close proximity to each other. If none of the larger animals are available, the crocodiles will gladly eat fish, birds, or turtles.

Reproduction: Depending of the environment, crocodiles will lay their eggs in a hole scooped out of the sand or on a mound of vegetation. The sun's heat is mainly used to incubate the eggs. Upon hatching, the baby crocodiles are surprisingly independent and will feed on their own on insects, and small fish. Their skin is also unusually bright and colorful (no one knows why) and the mother will carry them down to a water source           swim and eat.

Mouth and Head: Crocodiles' mouths are like bear traps. The muscles used to close the jaw are tremendously powerful, but the ones used to open the mouth are very weak. This makes it easy to hold ones mouth shut, but once the mouth is clamped down on something, getting it out isn't as easy. Also, each of their larger teeth has a corresponding notch in the opposite jaw so that when it closes its mouth, they fit together.

Swimming: Crocodilians' feet are partially webbed which helps them swim a little, but the most of their propulsion in the water is caused by the massive tail. They are kept afloat by adjusting the amount of air in their lungs to either sink to the bottom or float to the surface.
