Talk:Crocodile

Dinosaurs?
Is this technically correct? I think the dino-->bird thing is taught even at pre-school level these days. Perhaps "living fossils"? --McCormack 17:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There were prehistoric crocodiles too, so I don't think saying either dino or bird ancestry is correct, but rather they are just reptiles. --dark[[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]]lama 20:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Crocodilia "They are the closest living relatives of birds, as the two groups are the only known survivors of the Archosauria. " --mikeu talk 20:11, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I've tried to address this by adding that they are "''modern day relatives' of dinosaurs." -- Jtneill - Talk 00:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

keep it simple
For pages written for younger children we should consider linking to Simple English pages such as Crocodile. The only problem is that many of these are short stubs. --mikeu talk 21:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, I had no idea simple.wikipedia existed. Thanks Mike, will definitely try to use this now. -- Jtneill - Talk 00:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * for kids re wikis how can the wiki page be made to invite comment or critique
 * fresh water crocodiles have different snouts does that matter?
 * do you want to incorporate a bloom clock idea eg are there crocodiles near you? something about egg lifecycle or birthing? or harvesting?


 * re: interactivity, I was hoping to create places (boxes) visitors could e.g., :


 * leave questions
 * leave info
 * I have got as far as Crocodile/Your facts, but a little stuck technically on how to create a simple 'click here' which would allow kids to edit in clean box. -- Jtneill - Talk 01:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

How often does a crocodile eat?
That one! :D I can't find it online at all. RTG 12:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * * "Juvenile crocodiles should be fed 1-3 times per week."
 * * John Casey feeds a mature 45 year old pet croc a couple of times a month:
