wild animals in crocodile land

Despite its ancient form, crocodiles are actually complex reptiles. Unlike most reptiles, crocodiles have four bear hearts, a body cavity septum (diaphragm) and a cerebral cortex. On the other hand, the outer morphology clearly shows the way of life of aquatic predators. Its "streamlined" body allows it to swim fast. The crocodile folds its legs back attached to its body, to reduce water resistance and allow it to increase speed when swimming. The hind legs have swimming webs, which, although they are not used as propulsion when swimming fast, they are very useful when he has to turn suddenly or make sudden movements in the water, or to start swimming. Webbed feet are also an advantage when crocodiles need to move or walk in shallow water.
