This term is used in reference to crocodiles burying their eggs in nests either comprised of holes, which are usually excavated in sand, or in nests that are formed as mounds, which are generally built out of vegetation. When the young leave the nest, they tend to prefer a solitary life, though they do hunt together and share their prey. Other collective nouns include a bask, a congregation or a float (when in water). <\/p>\n\n
