Video with Mother and Baby Crocs



Video showing a mother crocodlie scooping up baby crocs in to her cavernous mouth full of deadly teeth.
The mother crocodile had waited for her baby crocs to hatch and now has to move them to safety and to water.

Crocodiles lay their eggs on land which makes them vulnerable. The mother croc stays close by the nest during the incubation period. Once hatched, the mother croc transports the hatchlings in her mouth, to a safe place near water.

A crocodile can lay up to 60 eggs and may nest every year or every couple of years depending on its condition. Incubation is between 80 to 90 days and the temperature of the nest during incubation, determines the sex of the hatchlings.
