From the American alligators of the Florida swamps and the Nile crocodiles of Southern Africa, to lesser-known species such as the broad-snouted caiman and the dwarf crocodile, this book explores the diversity of the 22 species of the predatory but threatened crocodilian.

Revealing the secret lifestyle of nocturnal animals from all over the world, this book explains how each species has adapted to hunting, feeding, communicating and living in the dark. It also provides an insight into how some nocturnal creatures have turned human habitation to their own advantage.
