Folkmanis Crocodile Hand Puppet (Stage Puppet)

Snap to attention with the playful Crocodile Stage Puppet. A movable and swallowing mouth will surely capture imaginations for spirited storytelling fun.

The model for this stage puppet is a true crocodile (family Crocodylidae), distinguished from alligators by a narrower, more pointed snout. With the jaw closed, the fourth tooth of the lower jaw stays visible. Crocodiles replace their teeth throughout their lives. If one is lost, a new one grows back within a few weeks, so a single animal gets through several thousand teeth in a lifetime. Along the jaw line sit countless tiny pressure receptors that let crocodiles detect the faintest movement of prey in the water. They feed mainly on fish, birds and mammals, overpowering them in ambush at the water's edge.

Did you know that crocodiles have existed almost unchanged for over 200 million years, making them true “living fossils”? They can slow their heart rate dramatically and stay underwater for up to an hour. Crocodiles also have one of the strongest bite forces in the animal kingdom – yet their jaws are surprisingly easy to hold shut.
