Reptile 2

The crocodile starts at about 20 cm long and can grow to about 3.3 feet to about 15 feet depending on the species and can weigh over 2,600 pounds.They are similar to alligators. They have scaly skin on their backs that is thick And rugged and their stomachs are smooth. They are usually a greenish brown color. When crocs are young they have many predators such as birds and even large frogs but when they get older it is much harder to attack a croc. The only predators they seem to have as adults are humans with weapons, other crocs and big herbivores such as elephants and hippos. The crocodile is in the middle of the food chain because it eats other animals and other animals eat it. Crocs eat Snakes and cattle or pretty much anything that will get close enough to the water. Their young are born from eggs so they are called hatchlings, they have no specific name. I saw one attack a buffalo by the water when I was walking by.
