A+ Students - Crocodilia
Birds are the closest living relatives to crocodiles. Both birds and crocodiles are members of the group Archosauria, which also includes dinosaurs. This shared ancestry can be seen in similarities in their skeletal structures and reproductive systems.
Some animals that may prey on crocodiles include large predatory birds like eagles and storks, as well as other crocodiles. Additionally, predatory mammals such as big cats (e.g. jaguars) and large snakes (e.g. anacondas) have been known to hunt and eat crocodiles.
Yes, the American alligator (not to be confused with crocodiles) is the species commonly found in the Okefenokee Swamp. While it is possible that a stray crocodile may venture into the swamp on occasion, they are not native residents there.
Yes. Crocodiles lay their eggs on land, in a hole or mound, depending on the species. The embryo develops inside a yolk-filled amnion with a hard, white calcium shell that softens as the crocodile matures and absorbs the calcium.
A Herpetologist (I think I spelled it correctly)
Crocodiles are of the family Crocodylidae, order Crocodylia. The term crocodilian refers to all members of the order including alligators, caimans, and gavials as well as crocodiles.
Alligators, caimans, gavials, and crocodiles are collectively known as "crocodilians." This group belongs to the order Crocodylia and is characterized by their semi-aquatic lifestyles, elongated bodies, and powerful jaws. Crocodilians are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
Crocodiles, gavials, alligators, and caimans. This list of crocodilians is from biggest to smallest.
whats up yo
Gavials are reptiles
big cats such as lions, tigers and leopards can be a threat to gavials. gavials have little strength in their gaws so they would not attack large animals.
24 im 100% sure
Yes, crocodiles, caimans, alligators, gavials, saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles, terapins, hellbenders, and marine iguanas, are some that live today. During the mesozoic era, many reptiles lived in the water, like plesiosaurs, placodonts, mosasaurs, sea turtles, nothosaurs, thalattosuchians ichthyosaurs, and more.
Well...There are snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators. (Yes, alligators and crocodiles are two totally different things! Trust me. I swear...)
24 im 100% sure
That would be order Crocodylia.
Gavials are endangered because of human encroachment on their habitats and because of the skin trade. Pollution in rivers is an important reason for gharials or gavials going endangered. They mainly eat fish. They are rarely known to attack humans.
