Nile crocodiles info report

Nile Crocodiles

 In this information report will learn about a Nile crocodile's habitat, characteristics, body structure, food and dangers. This report will no doubt give you the  information you need to know.

 Nile crocodiles live in Africa. They live in rivers, freshwater marshes, mangrove swamps, the sub Saharan, and the coast. freshwater marshes are a non-tidal body of water that is frequently flooded and consists of sedge, grasses, and emergent plants. Mangrove swamps is a distinct saline woodland or shrub-land habitat formed by mangrove trees in brackish tidal water. 

Nile crocodiles characteristics are great. They have rough scales that are greeny brown and a very long skull. They are the second largest crocodile in the world second from the saltwater crocodile. They have a streamlined body that propels them through the water. Nile crocodiles have lumpy scales along their body and a long tail

 A Nile crocodile's body structure is interesting. Even though they have one of the strongest bites in the world, the muscles that hold the mouth open are very weak so weak in fact somebody could hold their mouth shut. Nile crocodiles can be from 3 meters to 5 meters in length and can weigh 220 - 550 kg.

 Nile crocodiles are not picky eaters. They will eat almost any living thing they can get in their mouths. Nile crocodiles are apex predators, their diet consists of large mammals, fish, birds and humans. When they are hunting large mammals like wildebeest and buffalo, they lie in wait in water that can be 10 inches deep and when it’s prey comes they lunge out and clamp their jaws around the neck or leg and drag them back into the water, drowning the animal.

Nile crocodiles have almost no danger because they are an apex predator. In fact, the only natural danger is drought. It reduces the water they live in to almost nil, zilch, absolutely nothing at all, making it much harder to hunt for food. They have a lot of danger when they are young like monitor lizards, marabou storks, other crocodiles and shoebill storks. When they are adults they have no predators except other crocodiles, but hippos will kill them if they get too close. Humans hunt them for tier scales. They also drain their homes and build villages or towns over them.

In conclusion, nile crocodiles are dangerous and fascinating.. What would you do if it jumped out of the water and clamped it’s jaws around your leg?
