Crocodiles, the largest of living reptiles, are found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Crocodiles are found on all the continents of the world, except for Europe and Antarctica. The geographical range of this reptile species spans across North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Their natural habitat includes freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, etc as well as brackish water sources. Even though crocodiles can stay on land, they always prefer staying around some source of water. In fact, their diet predominantly consists of the large animal species which come to drink water. They lie in the water body, with only their eyes and nose above the surface, and wait for the prey to come closer. As the prey closes in, they swoop out of water, catch it with their strong teeth, drag it into the water and feed on it. These crocodiles can grow up to immense size which makes relatively easy for them to grab their prey. With the biggest crocodile in the world growing up to almost 20 feet, even larger prey find it difficult to escape from this wild beast.
