Best Answer

The only ones that seem to show any caring qualities are female alligators & crocodiles. They will stay by the buried eggs until they hatch - warning off any potential threat. Once hatched, she will carry the young reptiles to the nearest water source (usually a river or large lake) and stay close by for the first few weeks until they are self-sufficient.
