The Crocodiles can sleep in the water and on land because i seen them sleeping on land and water. I've seen them. Well, Male crocodiles
do but the females don't. Also, The male crocodiles are much much much larger than the females, The males are way way way way stronger more protective of the female and her eggs so the male crocodiles protect their mate.

Since crocodiles are reptiles they don't have the gills (present in fish) to allow them to breathe underwater. So they don't sleep underwater and have to swim to keep afloat. Just as you can't sleep in water, the crocs have to 'swim' and keep themselves afloat. They do not float naturally.
We think of them as water based but in fact they 'live' on land NEAR water. They primarily go into water to hunt which is why we see photos of them in water a lot.

∙ 11y agoA crocodile, does not need to be in water to survive, though they are mostly clumsy on land and could probably not provide fod for themselves.
Crocodiles need to drink water though, which they drink from the water that they are in as well as water from the animals they eat.
Crocodiles can go for long periods of time without water though, due to the fat they store in their tails. Niles Crocodiles regularly go without water for months during the dry season in Africa.
