The world of crocodilians is diverse, comprising 25 formally recognized species, alongside many more that remain undiscovered in remote locations. These fascinating reptiles exhibit unique characteristics, such as oversized heads, additional scales behind their eyes, and varying degrees of bony armor.

This app serves as a comprehensive resource on the biology, behavior, and conservation of these ancient reptiles, aimed at a scientific audience while remaining accessible to the general public. It offers a detailed exploration of crocodilian classification and taxonomy, breaking down the three primary families: crocodiles, alligators, and gharials. Users can delve into the various genera within each family and learn how to distinguish between caiman species and their respective genera.

All content is available offline, enhancing the user experience even in remote locations lacking internet access. The app includes audio playback features that capture the sounds of these prehistoric creatures communicating, providing an auditory insight into their behavior.

With striking visuals and well-organized navigation, users can gain a deeper understanding of these endangered reptiles. The app elucidates the differences between species, such as distinguishing between false gharials and Indian gharials, who share similar elongated snouts. Detailed information on species is also provided, highlighting other crocodilians that inhabit the same regions or possess common traits.

Each species is accompanied by contextual storytelling that covers its geographical origin, coexistence with local wildlife, and the perceptions held by surrounding human populations, including whether they are hunted, revered, or feared. Myths and legends associated with each species enrich the narrative further.

The app addresses critical conservation issues affecting crocodilians, with approximately one-third of all species classified as Critically Endangered. It presents specific threats faced by each species and highlights conservation efforts undertaken globally. Some stories are tragic, such as those related to the plight of the Indian gharial, while others celebrate successful initiatives led by Philippine organizations aimed at preserving their local crocodilian populations.

In addition to individual species profiles, the app delves into broader topics concerning the crocodilian order itself. Users can explore aspects of crocodilian life including hunting strategies, breeding behavior, basking habits, nesting practices, communication styles, and locomotion. Furthermore, comparisons are made to amphibians, mammals, birds, and fish to underscore the unique adaptations that define this ancient lineage.
