Crocodile
- Crocodiles can hunt cooperatively by forming a semi-circle across a river and herding migrating fish. They then eat the fish that is closest to them
- Unlike other reptiles crocodiles do not shed their skin but grow into it instead
- Crocodiles can move up to 11 miles per hour on land
- The nostrils of a crocodile close when diving
- To “cry crocodile tears” comes from the myth that crocodiles weep when they eat humans. It is true that they weep whilst feasting but it is due to physiological reasons rather than remorse
- Crocodiles can live up to 80 years
