[T]heir fossil remains having been found in rocks from the early Jurassic period, around 200 million years old. Stranger still, these crocodiles from the age of the dinosaurs often look
Crocodiles and alligators die of old age. They get old, lose their teeth, and also become weak. They just happen to have negligible senescence, a process by which their cells deteriorate so slowly. Alligators and crocodiles are not immortal animals. It is also not true that they do not stop growing. They do top growing once they hit a certain
ā€œCrocodiles have no such thing as old age. A 7-year-old crocodile is as good as a 70-year-old one in terms of agility and other life parameters. Aging has no effect on them. Although they canā€™t die of natural aging, they also canā€™t live forever. Nature has a way of killing them. The way they die is out of starvation or if they contract a
No one knows exactly how long a crocodile can live. Specimens in zoos have survived until their late 60s but some scientists speculate that some they may reach an age of 80 years old. In July 2012, a huge crocodile known as Lolong was officially named the largest crocodile in captivity, the Guinness World Records. Adults have an olive-brown colĀ­oration, whereas younger crocĀ­oĀ­diles are lighter tan color. They have a narĀ­row head and a long snout (which disĀ­tinĀ­guishes them from alĀ­liĀ­gaĀ­tors ). Their sharp, jagged teeth inĀ­terĀ­lock with each other. They have 28 to 32 teeth in their lower jaw and 30 to 40 in the upper jaw.

Crocodiles do indeed have scales, although they are very different from any other reptile scale. Crocodile scales are actually called ā€˜Scutesā€™. They are very big in size, due to the nature of a crocodiles size in general, and have the density of bone. Amazingly the scutes are not attached to any part of a crocodiles skeleton, therefore this

Nile crocodiles are among the biggest in the crocodile family. Length: Adult male Nile crocodiles measure between 11.5 ā€“ 16.4 feet from snout to tail; females are a bit smaller, usually clocking in around 7.3 ā€“ 12.6 feet. Weight: Their weights can range from 500 ā€“ 1,650 pounds. The average lifespan of a crocodile varies between 30 to 70 years in the wild. However, some species have been known to live beyond 100 years in captivity. One such example is Mr. Freshie, an Australian saltwater crocodile who lived up to 140 years old in captivity. Habitat plays a crucial role in determining the lifespan of a crocodile.
Okefenokee Joe, an 11-and-a-half-foot alligator who is believed to have lived in a Georgia swamp since World War II, has died, officials said. The alligator passed away from old age, the Georgia
