Crocodiles protect their eggs by nesting in secure locations, often on riverbanks or in vegetation, where they dig a hole and lay their eggs. The mother crocodile stays close to the nest, guarding it from potential threats like predators. After the eggs hatch, she assists the hatchlings in reaching the water, providing further protection during their vulnerable early stages.
