What they do is use their front paws and rake up a big layer of compost and dirt, and, of course, decomposing foliage creates heat. So they build this big compost nest, which can be quite large, like a meter or two high, and looks like a little helicopter pad. They'll wait until they feel the monsoon coming, and as soon as it does, they'll deposit their eggs. The female will use her back feet to make a perfect little basket, and then they go into a trance-like state to lay eggs. Baby crocodile gender is determined by how deeply the eggs are buried in the nest and the temperature.
Some crocodiles are women from the waist up.
If a young crocodile, just hatched from the egg, runs into the jungle instead of the water, it will turn into a tiger. If a crocodile is shot, its spirit will harm the hunter's family. It is said that the first crocodile was fashioned by Fatima, daughter of Muhammad. The female is usually placid and quick to get out of the way. As soon as she lays her eggs, she becomes territorial and aggressive and will die in defense of the nest and its potential babies.
