The
Nile crocodile is one of the biggest reptiles on earth.
But it starts to grow in a tough, leathery egg that
its mother lays. When it comes out of its egg, it is
about a foot long. It has around 50 brothers and sisters
that hatch, too. How does the mother crocodile take
care of her babies? What do the young crocodiles eat?
In
A
Crocodile Grows Up you will learn the answers to
those and may other questions. The answers come in different
forms:
|
the
story,
the
information boxes on each page,
the realistic illustrations,
the
Nile Crocodile
diagram,
the map, and
the glossary.
