A recent study has shown that crocodiles and alligators have the ability to climb into trees and ascend up to 16 feet high. University of Tennessee researcher Vladimir Dentis recorded these events and concluded the reptiles, being cold blooded, would venture into the branches seeking warmth when there was minimal "bankage" for sun bathing. Multiple studies were done on three continents: North America, Africa, and Australia. Along the Nile, crocodiles were described as skittish and would fall into the water or jump out of the trees when they were approached. Apparently no one has seen this before, and it sounds like it's a very normal thing.
