Cooling Crocodile Crocodiles Heat Loss Jaws Mouths Teeth Temperature Control Amphibians And Reptiles

EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! This saltwater crocodile is giving us a toothy grin in the stunning Red Cone Creek of Doubtful Bay, Western Australia. Known for their impressive size and strength, these wild creatures have made themselves right at home along the northern Australian coastline since receiving protection. With its mouth wide open, this croc proudly displays its formidable teeth and powerful jaws. It's not just about looking fierce though - those open jaws serve an important purpose in temperature control. As the heat rises, our scaly friend can lose excess heat through its mouth, keeping cool even on the hottest days. Don Hadden has captured this incredible moment in his print DH-3787, showcasing the beauty and diversity of wildlife found in Australasia's coastal regions. The vibrant colors of nature come alive as we witness this ancient reptile basking under the Australian sun. So next time you're exploring Down Under, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent creatures lurking beneath the surface. And if you happen to spot one with its mouth agape like our friend here, be sure to snap a picture - but remember to keep a safe distance! After all, it's their world; we're just living in it.
