Stina's right about the brontosaurs. My text books are actually pretty current, I only graduated a couple of years ago, but it feels like it's been ages.

Jim...ALL crocodilian females protect their offspring...nile crocs, american alligators, caimen...you name it, they protect their offspring! If you doubt it go try and nab some babies or eggs...hehe Also males will protect their females. If you agitate an adult female, watch out for the male coming to attack you!
-I do beleive you, but as I beleive the Nile croc is the only crocodillian who will stay with the offspring for up to two years, I found it to be a better example.

Yup, you are correct. Tokays have to protect their offspring from other tokays

That's how I first got interested in turtles, on TV I saw this giant turtle skeleton, and it sparked my interest. turtles and tortoises are almost unchanged for millions of years, why mess with perfection!

I've read that prehensile tail skinks stay with and protect thier offspring for quite a while.

-That’s the exact way I feel. We are a relatively new species in comparison to some of our reptile companions.
