Crocodiles are the world's largest reptiles. Some species of other animals have become extinct but the crocodiles have not experienced such a fate. All 23 species of crocodiles are still surviving. There are two types of crocodiles found in Australia, freshwater and those found in other wetlands. Their long jaws, protective armor, streamlined bodies and long tails make them very suitable for living in aquatic surroundings like swamps and rivers.

Crocodiles are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes according to the temperature of the air, water and land of its surrounding. Freshwater crocodiles can be found in the rivers and swamps in some parts of Australia. They have a narrow snout and reasonably straight jawline with even-sized teeth. Unlike other crocodiles, they are not 'man-eaters' and feed mainly on insects, frogs, lizards, turtles, bats, birds, and small mammals.

The wetland crocodiles, on the other hand, are found mainly in the warm climate of Sri Lanka, India as well as other some countries in Southeast Asia and Australia. They have broader snouts than freshwater crocodiles, with an 'up and down' jawline and irregular-sized teeth. It is estimated that they can live for at least 70 to 100 years.
