Crocodiles are from the crocodylidae family. They can range greatly in size from the Dwarf Crocodile at 3 feet to the saltwater crocodile at up to 20. The largest Crocs can way up to 2800 pounds. They roam 4 continents and have lived for the last 200 million years. Crocodiles are ambush hunters, waiting for fish or land animals to come close, then rushing out to attack. As cold-blooded predators, they have a very slow metabolism, and thus can survive long periods without food. They have hard skin and webbed feet which they hold close to there body as they swim using a massively powerful tail. They are badass creatures and have been feared throughout history.

They kill 2000 people a year.
The crocodile's bite force is more than 5,000 pounds per square inch.
The people of Ancient Egypt worshiped Sobek, a crocodile-god associated with fertility, protection, and the power of the Pharaoh.
Crocodile means lizard in Greek.
Many large crocodilians swallow stones (called gastroliths or stomach stones) which may act as ballast to balance their body or assist in crushing food.
The sex of a crocodile is determined on the basis of its temperature. Males are produced at around 31.6 deg C and females, at slightly lower or higher temperature.
Crocodiles are much more closely related to birds and dinosaurs than the other reptiles.
