Crocodiles are some of the oldest reptiles on Earth, having existed for over 200 million years! These powerful predators are built for both land and water, with strong jaws, webbed feet, and eyes that sit high on their heads for easy spying while they stay mostly submerged. Crocodiles can hold their breath underwater for up to an hour, making them expert ambush hunters. Their tough, scaly skin acts like armor, keeping them safe from threats in the wild.
Fun Fact
Crocodiles swallow small stones to help with digestion and to balance themselves while swimming!
