"Tick, tock, tick, tock." Thanks to Peter Pan, this sound, if heard near water, means run: a hungry crocodile is on its way. J.M. Barrie isn't fully to blame for spreading the word that crocodiles are our enemies, or at least the enemies of one-handed pirates-innumerable songs, stories, and legends have characterized these reptiles as a symbol of pitiless predation and insatiable appetite. Tracking twenty-three crocodilian species from India and Egypt to Africa, Australia, and beyond, Crocodile advocates that we do a complete one-eighty in our views of these magnificent creatures.
