Habitat: They live in freshwater habitats like rivers, lakes, wetlands, and sometimes brackish water. Some species, like the saltwater crocodile, can also be found in coastal areas.
Diet: Crocodiles are apex predators and mainly feed on fish, birds, and mammals, including larger prey like wildebeest and even small sharks.
Physical traits: Crocodiles have a long, V-shaped snout, powerful jaws, and tough, scaly skin. They are known for their sharp teeth and incredible bite strength.
Behavior: They are ambush predators, often lying in wait for prey to come close. Despite their bulky appearance, they are excellent swimmers and can move quickly on land over short distances.
Reproduction: Female crocodiles lay eggs in nests, and they exhibit parental care by guarding their nests and sometimes helping the young reach the water after hatching.
