University of Tennessee zoologist Vladimir Dinets and his colleagues decided (1)___. While they were conducting their crocodile research, the scientists recorded their observations of climbing crocs.

In Australia, they observed freshwater crocodiles (2)___. When approached by boats, the crocs splashed into the water below to escape. Climbing Aussie crocodiles were more likely to be small or juvenile; such crocs are sometimes able (3)___.

There is no evidence (4)___, but they are still capable of climbing high, Dinets and his colleagues concluded. The most common spots for climbing (5)___, suggesting that crocodilians use trees to get up out of the shade and into the sun. However, the existence of night-climbing suggests the behaviour has another function - perhaps the ability to see danger coming. Trees, the researchers wrote, (6)___.
