Hello . . . Who are you?
I'm a Nile crocodile.
We're the biggest reptiles on earth.
Where do you live?
Nile crocodiles live mostly in Africa.
We like warm swamps, rivers, and marshes.
Your teeth look sharp!
We have more than sixty teeth.
But we can't chew with them.
We can only bite.
What do you eat?
We eat fish, turtles, and crabs.
Our strong jaws open very wide.
So we can eat zebras and hippos too.
Are you dangerous?
Yes! Nile crocodiles are very dangerous.
Sometimes we eat people!
Yikes!
But Nile crocodiles are very caring parents.
Most reptiles don't stay with their eggs.
We protect our eggs fiercely!
How do you swim?
We use our powerful tails to move.
Our eyes and ears stay above the water.
That helps us see and hear.
I'm ready for a swim now.
Bye!
Good-bye, Nile Crocodile.
