This book is about Crocodiles and there life style of there lives and growth. Those are really fierce animals and strong creatures that most people don't try and mess with. This book was published in 2001 and illustrated 2001. These crocs pretty much are at the wild side of the world and live in water and hunt there. The river would be there natural habitat. the author writes what he knows in a non-fiction book for us to read. He researches the animal to write about it appropriately. This book is a non-fiction. I like the book cause it has a lot of information yet it isn't to long. My favorite part was when they talk about adulthood for crocodiles. I recommend this book for people who like to use a lot of resources for knowledge.
