LIFE CYCLE
Female crocodiles lay eggs from "20" to "90" eggs. They lay the eggs in the nests made of the mud, sand and rotting plant's parts. Baby crocodiles hatches from the eggz.
Most female crocodile watches over its young. Aligator's mother may help her babies for breaking out of the eggs. They sometime carries the new-born aligator in its mouth. It puts the baby into water. Some motherz stay near to their young bebies for at least one year. If the younger aligators get in trouble then their mother is near to help.
No 1 is realy sure how long aligators & crocodilles live. Scientist estimate dat smaler specie (kind) can lives from "30" to "50" years. While the larger crocodiles specie (kind) can lives to be "70" or even "80" years.
