Crocodiles are semi-aquatic reptiles that belong to the Crocodylidae family. They have existed for around 200 million years, emerging during the time of the dinosaurs, and have changed very little since then. They typically live in tropical regions, in rivers, lakes, and swamps.
Crocodiles have very powerful jaws. When they bite down on their prey, they can exert a force of nearly one ton. Interestingly, the muscles that open their jaws are quite weak, so while they can close them with great force, opening them is much harder.
They feed on fish, birds, mammals, and even other reptiles. They are known for the "death roll" — a spinning move used to tear apart their prey after capturing it.
Crocodiles are cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature depends on their environment. They warm up by basking in the sun and cool down by entering the water. Some species can live for 70 to 100 years.
Finally, crocodiles are quiet and patient hunters. They can move through water almost invisibly and strike suddenly when it's time to catch their prey.

01:02Some species can live for 70 to 100 years.
01:06Finally, crocodiles are quiet and patient hunters.
01:11They can move through water almost invisibly
01:14and strike suddenly when it's time to catch their prey.
01:17They live in their way.
01:19Once they're naturally creatures like the planet has changed,
01:20they can move through water using the light of the earth.
01:22They can move through water using the forest to swallow them.
01:23They can go through water.
01:25They can move through water using the air for 90 to 67.
01:27They can move through water using the ground to fight after soaking them.
01:29However, they're JUST here to make it a chance for a second time.
01:31They can't do much work.
01:33It's not easy.
01:33They can move through water using the water for 50 years,
01:35because they're just up to the water using the water.
01:37Nobody can do long enough.
01:39They can have to wait for 45 minutes to wait to get them in the water.
01:41They can also be aware of what they're being able to catch up for 10 years.
