Some quick Alligator/Croc related reading

Although I am but the humble owner of one very old snake, I happen to be fascinated by crocodilians and monitors as well. So I found a few items on crocodilian behavior that I thought I would throw up a few links to if anyone feels like some light reading:

This one discusses play behavior in Crocodilians, Komodo Dragons, and Turtles (A shout out to Tank the snapping turtle and any of you out there with intellectually gifted pet monitors)

Possible Feeding of offspring

Tool Use in Crocodilians

From the references below the article:
Dinets, V., Brueggen, J. C. & Brueggen, J. D. 2013. Crocodilians use tools for hunting. Ethology Ecology & Evolution in press doi.org/10.1080/03949370.2013.858276
