Morphological characteristics of Crocodile Bay

Like other crocodiles, the bay crocodile belongs to the dinosaur family. The appearance of crocodiles has not changed significantly since they appeared on the earth more than 200 million years ago. Crocodiles have a narrow and long snout with an etched back and a lower front beak. The eyes are big, round, with green iris, upper and lower eyelids, transparent instantaneous membrane, instantaneous membrane gland and lacrimal gland.

There is a bone ridge in front of each eye that tends to kiss, but it is not connected with each other. The ear hole is located behind the eyes, as long as a crack. There is only one external nostril in the snout, no diaphragm in the nasal passage, and an alligator sail at the back end. During occlusion, the mandibular dentition is staggered and cut on the same vertical plane as the maxillary dentition.
