What is a Crocodile?

A crocodile is a large reptile that lives near rivers, lakes, and wetlands in warm parts of the world. It has a long body covered in rough, scaly skin that acts like armor, and a powerful tail that helps it swim fast. Crocodiles have strong jaws filled with sharp teeth, and they use them to snap up fish, birds, or animals that come too close to the water. They make deep growling or hissing sounds, especially when protecting their territory. These reptiles can grow to be several meters long and can weigh over 500 kilograms, depending on the species. Crocodiles are cold-blooded, which means they bask in the sun to stay warm. They can live for more than 70 years. Even though they might look scary, crocodiles are amazing survivors that have been around since the time of dinosaurs!
