Crocodiles are relatively large and ferocious animals. They have the ability to swim and can move in the water. When crocodiles swim, the swing of their limbs plays a major role, which can help them swim in the water. At the same time, their trunk will also swing, playing a role in assisting swimming. Sometimes their tail also swings, which makes them move faster and more freely in the water.
However, due to the relatively large size of crocodiles, when the water is relatively shallow, crocodiles do not need to swim, they can walk directly in the water. Crocodiles swim only when they are in deep water. Crocodiles are mainly distributed in amber, swamp beaches and other places.
Crocodiles have the ability to swim, can live in the water. However, most crocodiles do not live in the ocean, because most of them live near rivers, marshes or lakes, which are freshwater basins. For example, Chinese alligators, Mississippi crocodiles, Nile crocodiles and so on, are living in fresh water. Specifically, crocodiles are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater, that is, where the temperature is more suitable.
a few crocodiles live near the beach, such as alligators. They can go into the sea, but they can't go very deep. Moreover, long-term immersion in the water is also harmful to their physical condition, so they need to go ashore regularly to bask in the sun, so that their physical condition will be good.
