Season 3, Episode #4: Tales from the CROC POD!
Whether you’re talking crocodiles, cayman, alligators or gharials, crocodilians are some of Earth’s most successfully designed species. With armored bodies, incredible bite force and surprisingly dedicated parental care regimen, these reptiles have successfully adapted to thrive around the planet and have outlasted many other animals, including the dinosaurs.
In this all-croc episode of the show — the first to tie into the Aquarium’s annual ODDtober celebration — two animal care specialists with herpetological leanings chat about sensory organs, how to tell a ‘gator from a croc’ and why we should be thankful these ancient predators are around.
