Colder temperatures make the hatchlings female, warmer ones male. Nests that get too cold only hatch males, and vice versa. The ideal nest, (says the book) is an even mix- males hatch from the top layer of eggs, and females from the bottom.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-64022262642768917792009-09-21T11:32:02.966-04:002009-09-21T11:32:02.966-04:00Fascinating creatures those crocs as are most rept...Fascinating creatures those crocs as are most reptiles.

By the time Wildlife & Fisheries finally got around to removing it, there were hardly any ducks left. (But they are back now!)Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
