Crocodiles: biology, husbandry and diseases
Abstract
This book was written for veterinarians, scientists, wildlife officials, students and crocodile farmers. The gathered data was based on years of work with farmed Nile crocodiles, some with wild and wild-caught African dwarf crocodiles in the Congo Republic, as well as on information from available literature. This book is a comprehensive reference on the biology, management and health of crocodiles, alligators and gharials. Emphasis is on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases as these occur on crocodile farms; clinical aspects of disease are also discussed. Photographs depicting various cases and conditions have been compiled. Anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, behaviour, nutrition, rearing, breeding, slaughter and welfare are also covered.

Slender-snouted crocodilians show a much greater propensity to sustain broken jaws during fighting and defense.
“This is certainly the case during other behaviors such as fighting and defense, where they show a much greater propensity to sustain broken jaws [25].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
