Description
This attractive and fun title is packed with fascinating facts about the captivating topic of Crocodiles. As awesome prehistoric hunters that have survived for hundreds of millions of years, Crocs are feared and respected by people around the world.
Did you know? Their strong jaws and sharp teeth mean that Crocs have the strongest bite of any animal. Crocodiles can regrow lost teeth many times during their lifetime. They make great mums, guarding the nest from predators and sometimes gently carrying the babies in their mouth to keep them safe.
Each spread covers a different aspect of Crocodile life, from Amazing adaptations and Family life to Where do they live? and Different types of Crocs. The book contains bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs, which combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that’s bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
