A group of crocodiles is commonly referred to as a ‘bask’ or ‘bask of crocodiles’. This term describes the behavior of crocodiles when they come together in the sun to warm their bodies, as they are ectothermic creatures.
Crocodiles are mostly solitary animals, but they do gather in groups, especially in areas where food is abundant or during nesting season. The basking behavior not only helps regulate their body temperature but also provides a social structure, albeit a loose one, among these reptiles.
So, the next time you see a gathering of these prehistoric predators, you can impress your friends by telling them it’s known as a bask of crocodiles!
