Banana crocodiles are ominvorous, so their teeth are less developed than that of regular crocodiles. They only need enough force and teeth to cronch some bugs, fishes, and fruits. Like regular crocodiles, they are still proficient swimmers with streamlined bodies.

Their bellies are smooth and colored brightly, belying some subspecies' poisonous nature, and they cannot stick out their tongues. Their ridges are hard and scaled, thick enough to provide protection.

Banana crocodiles vary greatly in size, from the enormous Big Banana Croc to the dwarf Baby Banana Croc. Red Banana Crocodiles are a smaller subspecies, but much more aggressive and quick-tempered than their larger cousins, the Candy Banana Crocodiles, which are generally easygoing and friendly.
