Philadelphia Zoo West African Dwarf Crocodile Mouth Open and Close

Visitors often think some of the reptiles in zoos are "not alive" or "fake" or "statues" because they rarely move.

So it helps when one moves occasionally, as this one did.

@wannatouchmyballsDKz  Isn't it wonderful when animals cooperate like this? It's as if he knew the camera was zooming in just at that moment and decided to add some motion to the video!

Yes, when I visited Toronto zoo, and saw crocodiles and I thought they are fake and statues, hahaah just like your description of this video. They rarely move.
