Photo Gallery Experiment Construction Nile Crocodiles Bibliography 

BY: SEAN IRWIN

Krokodeilos is the original Greek name for crocodiles. It means “pebble worm” ( kroko means pebble and deilos means worm ) because of its appearance, but the crocodile is not a type of worm its a reptile, one of the biggest too.

Now that you know a bit about crocodiles this is my web site which features very interesting pieces of information that you mite enjoy reading.

 You mite say that my experiment was a bit odd but at least it is original. I chose to make a model of a crocodiles digestive system which actually ate apples and you know what? My model works too!
