Croc isn’t like other crocodiles. She is a reptilian ballerina! An aquatic architect! A croc ‘n’ roll STAR! She is creative, cool, and fun. But the other animals only notice her sharp teeth and scary eyes. It’s lonely when nobody sees who you are deep down.
When disaster strikes, Croc has a chance to use her super-special talents to prove what a great friend she can be—and show the savanna that you can discover something new about someone by simply looking under the surface.
