Like an adult, a baby crocodile is a master of the stealthy hunting technique known as ambush predation. Keeping eyes, ears, and nose at a surface level with the water or seeming to appear asleep on the bank, a crocodile will patiently observe its potential pretty for hours until it is absolutely ready to strike. Baby crocodiles are born with this instinct. They do not have to learn. The biggest risk they face at an early age is actually not of starving to death but of being eaten by larger crocodiles. In this regard the mother is their protector and defender, keeping larger animals of their own kind away until her young can develop and survive on their own.
"Never trust a crocodile that complans of a sore back tooth"Taken from the collected sayings of Mboto Kadogo aka the wise old man. Got a link to Mboto Kadogo sayings, TG?Yes for anyone who remembers it was a Not the Nine O'clock news joke
I once went alligator spotting in Louisiana(long story). Alligators have a small territory.Crocs pursue their prey like the Canadian Mounted Police
