Description

Did you know that saltwater crocodiles have the most powerful bite of any living animal? At a length of up to 23 feet and weighing about half as much as a car, the saltwater alligator is the largest reptile species on Earth. Readers will find out how these mighty predators capture prey, from how its teeth keep trapped animals from escaping to how it relies on the element of surprise. They will also learn how the 'saltie' cares for its young and how long the species has existed.
