The main attraction of Chris Exotic's Zoo, the Crocodile is a large aquatic reptile that lives throughout the Tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia. Crocodiles tend to congregate in freshwater habitats like rivers, lakes, wetlands, and sometimes in brackish water (water that is saltier than fresh water, but not as salty as seawater).

Some species, particularly the Saltwater Crocodile of Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific islands often live along with the coastal areas. Crocodiles are also known to venture far out to sea. Crocodiles are an ancient lineage and are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs.

Did You Know?: Although it is widely known as a myth, crocodiles can make themselves at home in many environments- even sewers!
