Physical characteristics

• Grow from ten to eighteen feet long • Long and low body • Short legs • Long and very strong tail • Sharp teeth to eat their prey • The snout is narrowed and pointed • Web feet that help them move faster on dry and wetland • Eyes and nostrils higher than the body so they can see out of the water • Partly clear inner eyelids that enable them to see underwater without damaging their eyes. • The lower fourth tooth of the crocodile is longer than all the others so its easier to devour their prey

2. Where and why is your animal endangered? Locate where it is endangered (might not be endangered in all its habitats) Identify the factors, environmental and/or anthropogenic (caused by man) that cause it to be endangered Provide statistics and other facts related to its endangerment.

The crocodile is endangered because a long time ago people thought that they where priced possesions and were a good thing to have. so many people started hunting them that they became endangered in 1958.

3. Where is your animal in captivity and/or conserved? Locate at least two zoos and/or conservation centers where the animal is held.

The crocodile is conserved in many different places like the San Diego and Australia Zoos,

4. What is being done to restore your animal’s populations? Where is it being done? Locate where research is done on your animal and where efforts are underway to conserve its population (Note: It may be that this is done at the same location(s) you identified in #3) Identify the experts, leaders, and/or groups guiding the conservation

People are really helping to keep the crocodile. they have done many things like banned crocodile hunting.

Outline any research and efforts to conserve the population
