SteveCrocodiles lay their eggs on land to protect them from predators that may be lurking in the water. By burying their eggs in a safe location on land, such as a nest mound, crocodiles can increase the likelihood of their offspring surviving until they hatch. Additionally, the warmth of the sun helps to incubate the eggs, aiding in the development of the embryos.
