Crocodile

The Crocodile is a species of aggressive animal.

Crocodiles are found only in the Swamp in the northern region of the Map. They will attack if the player comes too close to them, and they cause the most damage of any animal in the game. Their attack can cause either infected wounds or bleeding.
Their growls alert the player to their presence if they are in the vicinity.

Hunting Strategy

Since the Crocodile can deal so much damage, one successful strategy is for the player to kite the Crocodile with the Archer Bow until it bleeds out. The Crocodile can move very quickly, though, and its speed should not be underestimated. If you hit a Crocodile with an arrow at a great distance, it will turn and start running towards you. If you keep shooting at its head 6 or 7 times as it gets closer and closer, it will finally expire before it reaches you.

Harvesting yields

A Crocodile that has been killed must be transported to a Butcher Table to maximize the resources that can be harvested. The player can carry the Crocodile (which causes the player to be encumbered and walk very slowly) or transport the Crocodile in a Log Cart or on the back of the Truck. The player can also butcher the Crocodile in the field, but fewer resources will be harvested.

Resource	Yield on Butcher Table	Yield in the field
Raw Meat	6	1 or 2
Raw Liver	1	0
Bone	6	1 or 2
Animal Fat	2	0
Croc Skin	1	0
