Crocodiles typically lay between 20 to 80 eggs in a single nesting season. The exact number can vary based on the species, age, and health of the female, as well as environmental factors.
The eggs are usually deposited in a nest made of vegetation or sand, which the mother carefully guards. After about 2 to 3 months of incubation, the eggs hatch, and the mother often assists the young crocodiles in reaching the water, where they begin their life journey.
