Question

Hatching of eggs is an important step in egg laying animals. How does the Crocodile hatch its eggs?​

Answer 1

In opening the nest, the female is inadvertantly triggering hatching - the vibrations she causes with her movement and digging are strong signals which cause most eggs to hatch. Those eggs which don't hatch, she picks up in her jaws and gently crushes the shell, assisting the baby crocodile to leave the egg.
