C is for Crocodile

C is for Crocodile

He's artful and sly

He lies in the shallows

‘Till a victim comes by

Then it's snap snap

And crunch crunch

And shake shake

And rip rip

And chomp chomp

And swallow swallow

And burp burp

Languid licking lips

Twinkle in his eye.

And did the victim die?

Yes - of course!

What a dreadful fate:

Straight to Heaven's Gate!

Fun Facts about the Crocodile

Crocodiles are large reptiles that live in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. They are excellent swimmers, using their powerful tails to move quickly through water.
 

Crocodiles have incredibly strong jaws lined with sharp teeth. They can replace their teeth throughout their lives, meaning a lost or damaged tooth can eventually be replaced by a new one.
 

Crocodiles are cold-blooded animals, so they rely on their surroundings to help regulate their body temperature. They often bask in the sunshine to warm themselves up before returning to the water.
