Crocodiles and alligators warm up in the morning by basking in the warmth from the rising sun. They are then more active. During the hottest part of the day, to avoid overheating, they will reenter the water to cool down.

When do crocdiles eat?
Although most crocodilians have an undeserved reputation of being maneaters, the saltwater crocodile is an extremely aggressive crocodile that besides animals will target humans as well.The name "saltwater crocodile" would give the false impression of being save from these animals in freshwater. Don't be mistaken: saltwater crocodiles live in the seas around Australia and Papua New Guinea and in the freshwater creeks,lakes and billabongs in those areas too.A saltwater crocodile is (as are all crocodiles) quite lazy and will mostly try a sneak-attack, using the element of suprise combined with brute strength. This however does not mean they just lie still until some unlucky animal wanders in their mouths! "Salties" (the nickname Australians give them) are also known to use their tales and smashing the victime in the water so they can easier continue the attack and commence the death-rol. This animal is so aggressive that they will even attack boates and canoes. It's also known to leap from the water to attack unaware wanderers along the shore.A saltwater crocodile will attack in the following circumstances:If it's irritated it will get angry and attack fiercly! Don't provocate them! Salties are very territorial and trespassing won't be tolerated by them either.In mating-season: when mating the saltwater crocodiles will be on their guard for rivals and are extremely easy to irritate!If an opportunity presents itself: It's a very lazy crocodile and won't pass the chance of an easy victime like pets and people walking closely aside the river. Limbs hanging outside the boat or an unaware swimmer will almost certainly encounter the crocodile. A hungry saltwater crocodile won't say no to a tasty human!Like all animals, if it's wounded it will become very aggressive and defensive. They are not easy to wound as their back is protected by scales and they are well equiped to defend theirselves. With only each other and humans capable of wounding them they are a very dominant species (an important reason why their population is increasing again).Like all crocodiles, a female saltwater crocodile will stop at nothing to defend her nest!Never feed a (saltwater) crocodile! One day a crocodile might encounter another boat with people and will expect to be fed, and if not fed it may just take what he thinks is rightfully his..A crocodile attack can be prevented if you follow the basicrules from this link: http://www.outback-Australia-travel-secrets.com/crocodile-attacks.HTMLWhen your unfortunate enough to encounter a (saltwater) crocodile maybe these tips will save you life: http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-an-Encounter-with-Crocodile-or-AlligatorFor some reported saltwater crocodile attacks click this link: http://www.outback-Australia-travel-secrets.com/crocodile-attacks.HTML
