Crocodile Creche

Today we read a journal story about baby crocodiles.  The mum crocodile lays the egg in a nest and then watches it until the babies make noise.  Then she comes back and carries them in her mouth to the water.  She looks after them for a while and then they are on their own.  Only some survive.  They start in eggs that are 5-8 cms long and end up big as!

We made some pic collages as a follow up.

  1. Great too the understanding you got from reading this article. I wonder if crocodiles do the same thing with their young?
