How do crocodiles reproduce?

The mating activity of the crocodile is from December to March every year, and the female reaches sexual maturity when the total length of the female is the average 232cm. The time of spawning is from 5: 00 a.m. to 9: 00 a.m. after laying eggs, the female alligator heaps a lot of grass on the eggs, and the nest is 40-70cm high. There are 20-40 eggs in each nest, and the incubation period is 67-68 days.

Sometimes there is a mating phenomenon between male alligators. Both males put the front half of their bodies out of the water and slightly perpendicular to the water, and then hit each other with the side of their heads, making a loud banging sound, resulting in larger waves on the water surface. When they hit each other, they all fall into the water, and after a short time they come out of the water and hit each other again. Generally, they stop hitting each other for 2-3 times and sometimes cause death.

Second, the living habits of crocodiles

Crocodiles like to inhabit the beaches of lakes and swamps or the moist areas of Artemisia annua in hilly and mountain streams. Crocodiles often give the illusion of being slow. Others describe crocodiles stumbling, stretching out, floating and trailing to the ground instead of crawling close to their bodies. In fact, this description is an illusion about crocodiles. In fact, crocodiles have extremely sensitive hearing and vision, and their body movements are also very flexible. The crocodile is also a clever animal. For example, the crocodile's hunting method is very strange. Whenever it swims in the water, it suddenly finds a small animal. It is not eager to catch it immediately. Instead, it hides its body to the bottom of the water, and then swims quietly in the direction of the small animal. First, it stares motionless at each other, then suddenly jumps up and catches the small animal. Finally, it takes it to the river with its mouth, drowns it, and then has a good meal. According to anatomical analysis, crocodiles like to eat: ducks, rabbits, frogs, mice, fish, snails and other animals.

Crocodile is a very old creature, very dangerous, is currently endangered animals, generally can only be seen on television or zoos.
