Crocodile

==Overview==
==Far Cry 3==
Crocodiles are found all over the islands, these large reptiles rule over small streams, rivers and swamps. They are primarily found floating just under the surface of the water (usually camouflaged by lilly-pad patches and other floating vegetation) with their eyes and snout partially protruding out of the water. They usually employ their hunting technique near shallow waters and river-shores to be able to catch animals and sometimes humans by surprise. Take caution when approaching, they will wait for the opportune moment and then charge forward towards their victims.
A quick-time event (button mashing) will take place when a crocodile attacks Jason. A button/key will appear on-screen to show you what you need to press to avoid death. They can be skinned, but yield nothing noteworthy besides Leather, which can be sold for $10. 
A Brown crocodile also appears in the mission Down in the Docks. This is the first time (not including free-roam) that the crocodile is introduced in the game. 
==Far Cry 4==
Crocodiles also reappear in Far Cry 4 as the Mugger Crocodile, it can be found in the Golden Path Mission in Jalendu Temple and bodies of water in the wild, mostly in southern half of Kyrat. 
==Far Cry Primal==
Crocodiles appear once again in Far Cry Primal where they appear with patterns similar to a modern salt water crocodile. Oddly, there is no evidence that crocodiles have ever lived in Europe. The classification for all crocodiles, extant or extinct, indicates that crocodiles only live in tropical or subtropical climates, which Europe has not had for the entirety of the existence of crocodiles. However, there are other crocodylians, i.e. alligators, which would have lived in Europe, though much before the time in which Primal is set. Other extinct lineages of crocodyloids would have also lived in Europe. All crocodylian and crocodyloid members in Europe perished many millions of years before the appearance of men-like apes. This crocodile is actually based on the Africa's Nile crocodile.
==Far Cry 5==
Crocodiles reappear in Hours of Darkness, lurking in the water of Vietnam. According to Wendell Redler, he killed them by dislocating their jaws, although in real life the jaws of saltwater crocodiles are far stronger than human arms and impossible to be dislocated by human arms alone. Since everything are from the imagination and memories of Wendell Redler, he may have exaggerated or remembered it wrong, for he cannot remember all details after several decades.
==Far Cry New Dawn==
Crocodiles return in Far Cry New Dawn, despite the game taking place in a post-apocalyptic Montana. 
==Far Cry 6==
During their quest to overthrow Antón Castillo, Yaran rebel Dani Rojas befriends a tamed crocodile named Guapo. 
In Far Cry 6 , crocodiles appear as free animals. Meaning that instead of being stuck in lakes, and waiting for preys, they now walk around in swampy areas. They will chase their preys around the areas, unlike in the previous games. They also walk in groups now, similar to Coyotes and Komodo Dragons in Far Cry 3. There are two species. Yaran Crocodiles and American Crocodiles. Yaran Crocodiles are small and fast, they usually can be killed with 1 shotgun shell. American Crocodiles are big, slow and powerful, and usually needs 2 - 3 shells before collapsing. Guapo is a Yaran Crocodile, and will not attack American Crocodiles, although he makes them flee. Guapo will kill Yaran Crocodiles, but mostly he makes them flee as well. 
==Trivia==
* Crocodiles never leave the water unless it is to lunge at the player, but when an animal or NPC is attacked, they get pulled into the water with minimal struggle.
* A rare Albino Crocodile exists in a remote swamp on the Southern Island. This unique Crocodile is encountered in a Path of the Hunter mission where you are required to kill it with a machete. Physically, the Albino Crocodile resembles a Saltwater Crocodile with the only difference being that it has white skin and more health than its green-skinned cousins.
* There is a common-scripted event where a civilian will wander into a river or lake for seemingly no reason and get attacked and killed by a crocodile. This will happen virtually every time a civilian get next to or in the water and can be useful for finding the location of crocodiles.
* Crocodiles cannot be tagged with Jason's camera.
* In Far Cry 3 map editor, if a crocodile is placed on land, it will use the animation as if it were swimming. This is probably because Ubisoft never intended the crocodile to leave the water. 
* Crocodiles are a bit rarer in Far Cry 4, compared to Far Cry 3.
* Crocodiles in Far Cry New Dawn, can only be found in expeditions and one in the remains of John’s bunker. 
* There are two crocodile species in Far Cry 6.
** Yaran Crocodiles, which are small.
** American Crocodiles, which are big and tougher to kill.
* Yaran Crocodiles are a fictional species, although they are strikingly similar to Cuban crocodiles. Unlike Cuban crocodiles in real life that are being critically endangered, Guapo and his kind still have a more than sustainable population.
* Since Cuba also exist in Far Cry, it's unknown whether the nearly identical Yaran crocodile can be useful for breeding efforts to save Cuban crocodile population or not.
