Crocodilians

In January 2018, a female crocodile in a Costa Rican zoo laid a clutch of eggs. That was peculiar: She'd been living alone for 16 years.

Scientists say a “staggering” 35 per cent of the crocodile was preserved, including a “near-complete skull”

This is the astonishing moment a crocodile clutches a missing man in its jaws after a witch doctor claimed he summoned it to return the body.
The missing man, identified as Syarifuddin, 41, was bathing in a river with friends when the beast pounced and dragged him beneath the water in Berau, Indonesia, on Tuesday at 6.20pm.

A Turkish-Cypriot magazine reports in its electronic edition that there are crocodiles at the dam of the occupied village of Kioneli, near Nicosia!
The report refers to statements by zoologist Mert Besiktas about the instructions he has received from the “veterinary services” to investigate allegations of crocodiles in this dam.

Australian officials are looking to increase the export of crocodile products in 2016, after decades of official protection to stop them being hunted to extinction have increased their numbers.    

The most powerful bite force in the world belongs to the saltwater crocodile with 16,460 newtons. Scientists believe it has a bite as powerful as its prehistoric ancestor the T-Rex! One of its reptilian relatives called ‘Elvis’ chomped into a watermelon causing it to literally explode!

A crocodile that has stumped authorities after appearing to be living in a dam in Crete earlier this summer is endemic to the Nile and is in good health, according to a French conservationist who specializes in the reptile and was brought in to help trap the animal.
