The King of The River
Mother Crocodiles usually lay up to 40 eggs in one clutch. They stay in their eggs for 55 to 110 days. Though the mother never strays too far away from the nest. But once they hatch they have mere seconds before creatures with come and snatch them from the nest. The babies are buried by when they make there way out their high pitch little screams alert the mother that her babies are hatched. Once she gets there, there are usually quite a few dead or taken babies. Then she picks up the remaining babies and scoops them up into her mouth. The nest is usually built near or next to a sheltered watering hole. There are usually large fish, lizards, and other predators that eat more of the hatchlings. The mother at this point hasn't eaten for about 3 weeks so her fat reserves would have basically run out by now. So sad as it is she has to eat some more of the babies.
1,million wildebeast cross /Kenya and Tanania in search of better grass they do this twice a year and they eat over 4000 metric tons of grass per day however they have to cross the maro river that is crocodile infested. Just coincidentally crocodiles favorite food is wildebeast. once the wildebeast get to the river bank the younger ones can't resist a long drink since they haven't had a drink for over 4 days on the hot African plain. But the older ones know better than to head straight in. The younger wildebeast proceed into the deeper water and in doing so get closer to the crocodiles crouching at the bottom of the river. Once a wildebeast in in the 4 meter circle around the crocodile it rockets upward hitting it
