Crocodylidae

The American crocodile had been isolated in a reptile park enclosure for 16 years when she laid a clutch of eggs.

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”

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian villagers armed with knives, hammers and clubs slaughtered 292 crocodiles in revenge for the death of a man killed by a crocodile at a breeding farm, an official said.

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.

A Turkish-Cypriot magazine reports in its electronic edition that there are crocodiles at the dam of the occupied village of Kioneli, near Nicosia!

During World War II, The Japanese Imperial Army captured Ramree Island in 1942. The island lies off the Burma coast, 70 miles south of Akyab, now known as Sittwe.

Since Ramree was strategically important, the Allies launched an attack in 1945 to retake the island and establish airbases to support the mainland campaign.
