Geocache Description:


OK, so you think you know your crocodiles - get a load of this!

1. Crocodiles can swim at 25mph just with the help of their powerful tail.

2. Farmed crocodiles can reach 1.5 metres (5ft) in length in just one year.

3. When crocodiles sit on river banks with their mouths opens, it's not aggression. They're trying to cool off as they sweat through their mouths.

4. Crocodiles display increased aggressiveness during the mating season, which is linked to the monsoon.

5. Each crocodile jaw has 24 teeth that are meant to grasp and crush, not chew. They swallow stones that grind food inside their stomachs, and also act as ballast.

6. Ninety-nine per cent of crocodile offspring are eaten in the first year after birth, by large fish, herons, monitor lizards and adult crocodiles.

7. Crocodile skin is considered one of the finest, treasured for it durability and softness. It's a sign of status in tribal societies.

8. Some tribes, like those in New Guinea, venerate the crocodile and give themselves scarring to match that of a crocodile skin.

9. Crocodiles, which first appeared 240 million years ago, can live up to 80 years.

!0. Never, ever smile at a crocodile...they’re just eyeing you up for lunch.
