Crocodiles
The Nile Crocodile of Africa is over twenty feet long. For her nest for the eggs she first digs with her hind legs. She has 64 sharp teeth she has twice as many teeth as us. Step two lay eggs, step three buried eggs. When the momma crocodile sees a predator she chases it away. A full grown hippopotamus can chomp a 12 foot crocodile in half! Th crocodile is cold blooded. If the eggs are 88-90 degrees they are all boys if it is colder or warmer than that they are girls. Turtles sometimes lay there eggs where the crocodile layed her eggs because she knows that the momma crocodile will protect them from predators. When the baby crocs are done hatching they call for momma and when momma hears them she takes them to the water. (she takes them in her mouth to the water. She takes the baby turtles too.) Before the eggs hatched she protected them for along time and does not eat or drink.
