Papo Nile Crocodile #50055 Review:
Oversized model from Papo has lots of great features. Head is up and mouth is open in a roaring or ready to bite pose. Teeth are well done, but there is no tongue in the mouth. Figure is long (over 8 inches) and that doesn't include the large curve in the body and the tail. Would be even longer without the curves. Back and underbelly scales are fine - not as pronounced as on some other models. Nice figure from Papo.
Nile Crocodile Information:
The Nile crocodile is a large species of crocodile found throughout much of Africa. This species is the second largest living reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile. It is an apex predator, meaning it is at the top of the food chain with no natural predators. Nile crocodiles are typically dark olive green with yellowish undersides and are heavily armored with bony plates. They have long, powerful jaws with sharp, interlocking teeth. Nile crocodiles can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh up to 1500 pounds.
Nile crocodiles are opportunistic feeders, preying upon a wide variety of animals such as fish, birds, amphibians, mammals, and reptiles. They use their powerful jaws and long bodies to overpower their prey, dragging them underwater and drowning them. Nile crocodiles are also known to ambush their prey, lying in wait and then quickly attacking with a surprise attack.
Nile crocodiles are also known to be very intelligent. They are capable of recognizing individual humans and other animals, and can even remember where they found food in the past. They have been observed working together to ambush prey and protect their young..
