Brief Introduction Of Crocodile

By: DanMaggie Home | Home-and-Family | Pets


Crocodile is a kind of miraculous reptile animal.They live in swamps or on river banks and catch their prey in the water. They have flattened bodies and tails, short legs, and powerful jaws. The eyes, ears, and nostrils are located near the top of the head and are exposed when the crocodile floats on the surface of the water. The ears and nostrils have valves that close when the animal is submerged.

Most crocodiles are more aggressive than the related alligators . The two forms are distinguished by the long lower fourth tooth: in crocodiles, but not in alligators, this tooth protrudes on the side of the head when the mouth is closed. Also, the snouts of most crocodiles are narrower than those of alligators.

Small crocodiles feed on fish and small aquatic animals; larger ones also catch land mammals and birds that approach the water. Members of some large species sometimes attack and eat humans. The female crocodile deposits her eggs, usually about 20 in number, in a nest of rotting vegetation or in a shallow pit on the river bank, and digs them up when she hears them hatching.
Crocodile can live as long as 150 years. They can swim in the water and also they can walk on land. To some degree human beings are afraid of crocodiles, because they are carnivorous that they can attack human.
However, to our surprise, although crocodiles are not cute and beautiful even they are a little ugly and fearful, there are still a lot of products that are registered with crocodile. For example, the Crocodile bag are quite popular. What more inconceivable is there are a lot of kids toys are related to crocodile. The crocodile plush toy , the croocodile slide and bouncer are very popular with kids. Especially, due to the intelligent designers of inflatable toys, kids can crawl into the belly of the crocodile from its tail and slide down its mouth even they can touch the teeth of the crocodile. Certainly, the toys of crocodiles are beatified and changed. These crocodile toys are relatively cute than the real ones.
