Synopsis: The crocodile is one of the most ancient creatures on Earth. Will it go the way of the dinosaur?
Excerpt:
If you do see a crocodile in the water, you may not know what it is. When it floats in a river, it looks just like a log. No one is afraid of a log. By the time you (or some other animal or fish) find out the log isn't a log, it's too late. The crocodile opens its big wide mouth and snap!
Question:
A crocodile looks as if it is a log in the water. How is this helpful?
- The crocodile can surprise its prey.
- The crocodile can float like a piece of wood.
- Other animals can ride on the crocodile's back.
- Humans will not hurt the crocodile.
