Saltwater crocodiles exhibit a unique form of parental care, primarily through the female. After laying eggs in a nest constructed from vegetation, the mother fiercely guards the nest to protect it from predators. Once the eggs hatch, she assists the hatchlings by carrying them in her mouth to the water and continues to protect them for several months as they learn to swim and hunt. This protective behavior significantly enhances the young crocodiles' chances of survival in their early life stages.
