Crocodiles are reptiles, so they can live on land. Many people think that crocodiles are fish because they have "fish" in their name, and that they can't live on land, which is a mistake. As a reptile, crocodiles themselves can crawl on land. Moreover, the respiratory organs they use when they breathe are lungs, so they can breathe smoothly on land, but they can't breathe in water, so they need to breathe out of water.
In fact, when the breeding season comes, female crocodiles spend a lot of time on land. Female and male crocodiles mate in the water, and after mating, the female will come out of the water to lay eggs on land, and then stay beside the eggs until they hatch. In addition, when crocodiles hibernate, they also climb up to the land and take it for a long time.
As mentioned above, crocodiles, as reptiles, can move on land. In fact, crocodiles can stay on land for a long time. For example, when female crocodiles complete the process of laying eggs and hatching, they are on land; When crocodiles hibernate, they also do it on land. The process of laying eggs and hatching may take several months, while hibernation takes at least several months. Especially during hibernation, crocodiles dig burrows on land and live in them. If they have enough fat reserves, crocodiles can even stay on land for up to two years, but generally not for that long.
