What is crocodylian parental care?
Quick Answer
Crocodylian parental care is the behavior where mothers, and sometimes fathers, protect nests and help hatchlings reach water.
The Full Story
Crocodylians are known for more parental care than many people expect. Females often build nests, guard them during incubation and may help hatchlings emerge or carry them to water in their mouths. In some species, both parents can remain near the nest or young. This care increases offspring survival in animals that lay eggs on land but live in watery habitats after hatching.
