One of my favorite things about crocodilians is how unapologetic they are.
"Yes, I am an apex predator. Yes, I lack fur and large doe-eyes. Yes, my lineage has survived unchanged for longer than your monkey-brain can comprehend. Yes, I'm going to eat you and your loved ones given half a chance. No, I am not sorry, I am hungry."
I am endlessly amused that it is essentially religious scripture that "Sobek's got bitches."
Cruising.

Multiple species of crocodilians have been observed playing with flowers. They seem to especially like pink flowers. Play involves carrying flowers in their mouth, pushing them around in the water, or wearing them on the tips of their noses.
