CROCODILES:
Like them or loathe them, crocodiles are fascinating ancient predators that have been feared, revered, and respected by humans since we joined them in existence.
Crocodiles have a remarkable evolutionary history and are often referred to as living fossils. They have remained relatively unchanged for over 200 million years, making them one of the oldest reptile lineages on Earth.
Crocodiles are known for their impressive size. The largest species, the saltwater crocodile, can reach lengths of up to 6 meters and weigh over 907 kilograms. They also have a long lifespan, with some individuals living for more than 70 years.
Crocodiles have one of the strongest bite forces in the animal kingdom. The muscles that close their jaws are incredibly powerful, allowing them to exert tremendous pressure when capturing prey. They have a specialised groove in their jaws that allows new teeth to grow to replace the ones they lose. Over their lifetime, they can grow and replace thousands of teeth.
Crocodiles exhibit remarkable parental care. Females build nests and lay eggs, which they guard vigilantly. Once the eggs hatch, the mother carries her offspring to water, protects them, and provides guidance and protection for several months until they become independent.
In 2023, Scientists in Costa Rica discovered that crocodiles are capable of self-reproduction (virgin birth), which has only been identified previously in some birds, fish, and other species of reptiles. Its thought crocodiles, Costa Rican Scientists believe, may have inherited this trait from an evolutionary ancestor.
