The crocodile embodies a quiet strength, a living relic of a time when giants roamed the Earth. Its silent power is manifest in its rough scales, sharp teeth, and unwavering gaze that scans the water. Frozen beneath the surface or motionless in the sun, ready to emerge, it inspires both fear and respect. In the myths and legends of many cultures, the crocodile is a guide, a guardian of thresholds, a bringer of transformation and rebirth. Its quiet strength invites us to observe what lies beneath the apparent stillness, to understand that true power sometimes lies in patience and depth.
