Male crocodiles mate with female crocodiles but that is a far as it goes. Not that he has a choice because the mother crocodile does not tolerate another living being near her eggs. After they hatch, the mother carries them safely to water and nourishes them until they are able to fend for themselves. Only a few of them will survive and reach maturity.


Male crocodiles are one of the biggest threats to young crocodiles, because he will have no problem with devouring his own offspring. It is a known fact that crocodiles will kill other crocodiles (big and small) to defend their territory or when there is a foodshortage.
