4. Crocs basking
Tigers ambush without thinking
Crocs basking without blinking
Snap jaws shut

Devouring any creatures that come near

Fascinations
Crocodiles are among our most feared carnivores because of their size, big powerful jaws and aggressiveness.  At up to 6 metres in length they are the largest reptiles on the planet and have been around since dinosaurs walked the Earth.  A bask or float of crocodiles spells danger but you cannot always see the danger as they lie underwater with only their eyes visible.  Watch out for those jaws or they might just swallow you whole! 
Learning moves
In this pitch-matching game the leader invites everyone to stand. Then, casting a watchful, unblinking eye at the assembly of crocs, the leader sings the words ‘Crocs basking’ starting on a note of their own choice.  The leader signals for every croc to join in singing on the same note without blinking or moving their head/body, and holding the note as long as indicated.  The leader watches and listens carefully and gestures to any fidgety or croaky crocs to sit down. The last croc standing is the winner and then takes a turn as leader.
