a crocodile is a relatively large animal. It takes a long time for them to grow from small crocodiles to adult crocodiles, usually 10-12 years before they can become adults. This is because the life span of crocodiles is relatively long, can live 80-100 years, their late adulthood is normal.
When crocodiles are still relatively small, the food they eat is also some relatively small animals, usually aquatic animals such as fish, frogs, earthworms, snails and so on. When they grow up, they can prey on larger animals, even larger mammals, such as mice, rabbits, deer, antelopes and so on. Moreover, as adults, crocodiles generally seek their own territory and protect their territory from invasion by other crocodiles.
Crocodiles use oviparous reproduction, generally speaking, they can only breed once a year. In the process of breeding, female and male crocodiles mate in the water, while the process of laying eggs and hatching takes place on land, where females dig a cave and lay eggs in it. Although crocodiles can lay more eggs at a time, dozens of eggs can be laid, but not all of these eggs can hatch out. Even if they hatch, they may be eaten by female crocodiles, who do not have much energy to take care of them and may eat some of them.
