What exactly do you mean? Both their top and bottom teeth show when they shut their mouths. They have long and narrow snouts. They range in color from dark brownish to light tanish. Salties can grow somewhere around 20 feet long.

Like all animals, Crocodiles have developed many adaptations to aid in their survival. They have developed successful ways of reproduction, feeding, locomotion, and others.

Though Crocodiles normally swallow their food above water to avoid drowning, if they were to swallow them underwater, they have a fleshy "palatal" valve at the back of their throat to help prevent drowning. Sometimes they ingest stones or pebbles to aid them digest the food within their gizzard.


Crocodiles lay their eggs in elaborate nests. These mound nests are above the water and keep the eggs from flooding. But the eggs can also be in danger of drying out. For this reason, they lay eggs during the wet season. Female Crocodiles have also been observed to splash water onto the nest if it is too dry. After the eggs hatch, the female takes care of her young for several months. This much parental care is very rare in reptiles, but helps increase the chances of survival for the young. Even with this help, only 1% of hatchlings reach maturity.


Crocodiles obviously have to have a high tolerance for salinity, but they can also be found in freshwater rivers and swamps too. Though the crocs don't truly migrate, they do move between different habitats during the dry and wet season. In addition to this movement, they also change habitats depending on how old they are. Crocodiles are born and raised in freshwater areas. As sub-adults, they are forced to more marginal and saline areas. The weaker Crocodiles are even forced out of these areas to the open ocean, where they have to swim until they find a new area. This is why they have a wide distribution.
