暹罗鳄是目前唯ー有视频记录喂食幼仔的,其它鳄只有目击记载,宽吻凯门鳄,奥里诺科鳄都有为幼仔提供食物。
雄性暹罗鳄不会喂食幼仔,甚至会偷母鳄留给幼仔的肉,但雄鳄也不会伤害幼仔。
The adult male in this exhibit has been a great father to the hatchlings; he is protective and cautious around them. He is also very food motivated and has never been seen attempting to share his meals with the hatchlings. In addition to attempting to steal meals from the female, I have even seen him try to take the occasional large piece of meat from the hatchlings. He is very gentle about it; trying to only get a hold of the meat without touching a hatchling, even to the point of quickly pulling his head back if a hatchling was accidentally in the way. To prove his good intentions, I have seen him basking with his mouth open just after eating. Hatchlings have crawled in his mouth looking for the meat that they can still smell. One even tried to bite his tongue. The male is very patient, but really does not like the young crocodiles in his mouth, and he gently turns his head and shakes them out.
