Why docrocodiles spend so much time in water if they are reptiles?
They have learned by hiding in the water, they can sneak up on their prey, grab it, and drown it. Then, eat it at their leisure. They are big, and the water supports their large bodies. The water is much cooler than the hot land. The water makes it's easier for their large body to get around. A crocodile on land would have to compete for prey with a bear or a big cat. A crocodile in the water does not have much competition for the same type of prey that it eats. Crocodiles are like seals and hippos. Although they are land animals a great deal of the time, they have learned to adapt to spend most of their lives in the water.
