Snout is not your typical crocodile.
When the skies of Africa turn dark with rain and Snout’s river swells, this good-natured reptile lends his broad back to many stranded animal neighbours.
Toads, hedgehogs, anteaters, and fireflies are thus carried safely over dangerous waters. Then, with a nod to Aesop’s classic fable, Snout’s good deeds are repaid in full when a shift to hot, dry weather leaves him vulnerable instead.
