Cold-blooded and thick-skinned, the ancient order of crocodilians strikes terror in the hearts of many and respect in others—or perhaps a bit of both. The fact is, crocodilians — alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and gharials—are a misunderstood group of animals, most of which face serious threats to their habitat as well as being hunted for their skin by humans. In this class, we will discuss: - How crocodilians evolved - Where crocodilians are found - What kind of crocodilians there are - What adaptations crocodilians have - What threats crocodilians face Learners will be introduced to these topics within herpetology via an interactive lecture featuring slides, photos, and videos.
