Hideous Crocodiles 🐊
Hello... friends, welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing few hideous crocodile videos.
Crocodiles are large reptiles, they belong to Animalia kingdom. They are members of the order crocodilia, that includes alligators, caimans and gharials.
Crocodiles are found in Asia, Africa, America and Australia. They normally live near lakes, rivers, wetlands and even saltwater regions.
Crocodiles are cold-blooded and cannot generate their own heat, due to which they are best suited for tropical climate. During colder months, they hibernate or go dormant during long period of drought. They dig out a burrow in the side of river bank or lake and settle in for a long sleep.
They lay 10 to 60 eggs at a time, the hatching time is about 55 to 110 days. They are born long measuring about 7 to 10 inches. The lifespan of crocodile is 30 years to 75 years.
Crocodiles are carnivores, in the wild they feast on birds, fish, frog and other animals, but at zoo, they are fed small animals that have already been killed. Crocodiles swallow small stones to grind up their food which helps them with digestion.
They can survive for months without food due to their slow metabolism. Crocodiles are often confused with alligators , but there are some easy way to spot the differences, crocodiles have V-shaped jaw while alligators have U-shaped jaw.
One of the interesting fact about crocodile is that, whenever it loses a tooth, its quickly replaced. These reptiles can grow 8,000 teeth over a lifetime. They open their mouth to keep them cool, this process is called mouth gaping. The larges crocodile is saltwater crocodile and the smallest one is the dwarf crocodile.
