Friendly Sitting Crocodile Coloring Page

About this page

Seated upright with its back legs folded and its front arms straight down, this crocodile looks off to the side with a toothy, relaxed smile. A slim snout stretches to the right, where two nostril dots sit at the tip. The belly is a tall panel crossed by five or six rounded stripes, and little spikes run down the neck and back. The tail loops up on the left in a big curve, with scalloped edges along the top. There is nothing else on the page, just thick outlines and big shapes. The simple outline and open body are easy for little hands, and the long smile makes it an inviting first reptile picture. It suits kids who like friendly animals and prefer big, simple spaces.
