A segment of the Wikipedia entry for non-human animal tool use. It reads: "In reptiles: Tool use by American alligators and mugger crocodiles has been documented. During the breeding season, birds such as herons and egrets look for sticks to build their nests. Alligators and crocodiles collect sticks to use as bait to catch birds. The crocodilian positions itself near a rookery, partially submerges with the sticks balanced on its head, and when a bird approaches to take the stick, it springs its trap. This stick displaying strategy is the first known case of a predator not only using an object as a lure, but also taking into account the seasonal behaviour of its prey."

A drawing parodying The Far Side's infamous "Cow Tools." An expressionless crocodile stands in front of their "tools," a series of sticks laid out on a bench.

no fucking way

44% of crocodilians are threatened according to the IUCN. The Chinese alligator, Orinoco crocodile, Phillippines crocodile, Cuban crocodile, Siamese crocodile and Gharial are all considered critically endangered. A conservation success story, the American alligator, once facing extinction, is now considered "low risk", although the American crocodile is "vulnerable".

Saw this handsome friend crossing the path I was walking, so I politely stood back to let him cross. Then he decides to just plop down right there for his sunbathing session

I can’t even be annoyed I love gators so much just look at his charming smirk
