What are some of the abiotic factors that affect a crocodile?

Answer 1

Abiotic factors are the nonliving components that affect the living organisms in an ecosystem. Some abiotic factors that may affect a crocodile are temperature, precipitation rate, and the chemical quality of surrounding water.

Answer 2

There can be several limiting factors in a crocodile's environment.

First of all, food is the most important aspect. If there is no food, or if there is little supply of it, than the crocodile population cannot be expected to thrive.

Second, in the world we live in, we humans are endangering many habitats of different animal species. Through pollution, logging, and ect. we are destroying ecosystems and animal habitats on a rapid scale.

Finally, crocodiles are ectothermic reptiles. They rely on the sun to heat their bodies; this is why we see more crocodiles sunbathing than we do people on the beach ;) If a crocodile environment were to be established in an area where the sun is a limited resource, than of course that could be a limiting factor for a crocodile. They'd freeze to death!
