Once upon a time, there was a little snail who lived near a big, muddy river. One day, a crocodile noticed the snail while it was sunbathing on a rock. The crocodile thought the snail would be an easy snack. But the snail was very clever. It quickly hid in its shell. The crocodile tried to break the shell but couldn't. Frustrated, the crocodile left. The snail then emerged and continued its slow journey, having outsmarted the big, fierce crocodile.
A possible plot could be that a snail is on a quest to find a special flower that only grows on the other side of a large river. A crocodile lives in that river. The snail has to cross the river to get the flower. At first, the crocodile is hostile towards the snail and wants to eat it. But the snail convinces the crocodile that if it helps the snail cross the river, the snail will share the magic of the flower with the crocodile. So the crocodile allows the snail to climb on its back and takes it across the river. Together they find the flower and both gain something special from it.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be various stories with this title. It might be about a crocodile that is dominant among other crocodiles, perhaps it shows how this 'king' crocodile hunts, defends its territory, or interacts with other animals in its ecosystem.
Most likely the main character is the king of the crocodiles. Since the story is named after this entity, it's reasonable to assume it focuses on this particular crocodile.
Pilandok is a clever character in the story. He was faced with a group of crocodiles. Using his wits, he tricked the crocodiles. For example, he might have made them believe something that was not true to get out of a difficult situation. But to tell the full story in detail, one has to go through all the interactions between Pilandok and the crocodiles step by step, which often involves Pilandok's quick thinking and the crocodiles' gullibility.
Yes, one unique feature is that the temperature of the nest determines the sex of the hatchlings. If it's warmer, it may result in more males, and if it's cooler, more females. Another is the female's role in guarding the nest fiercely.
Crocodiles have interesting mating behaviors. Male crocodiles often engage in courtship displays to attract females. They may bellow loudly, show off their size, and swim in certain patterns. Once a female is receptive, mating occurs in the water. The female then typically lays eggs in a carefully constructed nest, usually on land near the water. This is a basic overview of the crocodile's reproductive process.
One key element is Pilandok's cleverness. He uses his brain to deal with the crocodiles. Another is the crocodiles' nature. Their gullibility or their focus on certain things like food perhaps, which Pilandok takes advantage of. And of course, the setting where they meet also plays a role. Maybe it's near a river or in a jungle area which affects how the story progresses.
