The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

This past Sunday, St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park welcomed 10 snappy little Saltwater Crocodiles. Interesting coincidence that 10 little crocs hatched on 10-10-10! Many people don't know that baby crocodiles cry to get their mother's attention while inside the shell. When she hears the high pitched noises, which sound similar to a dog's squeaky toy, she will dutifully pick the noisy egg up and gently crack it inside her powerful jaws.

One more gooey egg pic below the fold. It's extra gooey. You've been warned.

    Always astounded to see reptiles hatch. Straight out of the egg these crocodiles are fully formed little carnivores.

    I wonder how sharp their teeth are when they’re first hatched. They really are quite cute as babies!!
