Reptile Behaviour - Crocodiles

The Crocodile


Behaviour and aspects; The crocodile, one of the most fearsome predators of the animal kingdom. They mainly inhabit the tropics in Australia, Africa, Asia and America in freshwater rivers. They feed primarily on fish and mammals and sometimes other reptiles and invertebrates depending on the species. They are ambush hunters waiting for their prey to come close then rushing out to attack. They also, like most reptiles need the sunlight to bask in to warm themselves up to maintain their energy levels. As a cold-blooded animal they can go long periods without food as their metabolism is slow.

Game Idea; I have a very positive idea about this theme, I could use the old game of 'Frogger' to set the genre. The player would play as a Zebra having to cross a river filled with crocodiles swimming backward and forward. They would need to reach the other side where the zebras herd is and the fresh grass avoiding the predators. As the levels would progress they would slowly get faster making it harder for the player to cross.
