Crocodile

Crocodiles grow to an adult size of just 1 metre (3.3 ft)

to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft). Larger species can reach over

4.85 metres (15.9 ft) long and weigh well over 1,200
kilograms (2,600 lb). Crocodiles are estimated to

live around 70 years and there is limited evidence that

some individuals may exceed 100 years. Crocodiles eat

fish, birds, mammals and occasionally smaller crocodiles.

Crocodiles are protected in many parts of the world.
