The Crocodile Code

For more than 230 million years, crocodiles and their ancestors have endured changing climates, shifting continents, mass extinctions, and the rise and fall of countless other forms of life. Their survival is no accident. THE CROCODILE CODE takes readers beyond the teeth and into the extraordinary biology of one of Earth's most ancient and misunderstood predators. Through evolution, anatomy, intelligence, communication, hunting behavior, reproduction, physiology, navigation, ecology, and modern field research, this book reveals how patience, efficiency, power, adaptability, and biological precision created one of nature's greatest survival strategies.
Discover how crocodiles sense hidden movement, communicate before they hatch, remember places, travel astonishing distances, survive drought, regulate their bodies between land and water, care for their young, and continue to challenge scientists who thought reptiles were simple creatures ruled only by instinct. The crocodile did not survive because the world stayed the same. It survived because it learned how to endure a world that never did.
