Background[]
Season 1[]
In "Mom of a Croc", Chris and Martin activated Crocodile Power to protect Crocodilla's hatchlings from predators. Since Aviva hadn't programmed the Crocodile Power Discs yet, the bros used their Gharial Discs to activate. However, the transformations didn't hold up for long; since the Power Suits had been activated with Nile crocodile DNA, which wasn't fully compatible with the Gharial Power programming, the suits deactivated after a short time.
Season 2[]
In "Bad Hair Day", Chris activated Crocodile Power to help He Who Breathes Fire escape from a mid-river battle with a crocodile and a hippo (alongside Martin activated Hippo Power for the same purpose). Chris then carried He Who Breathes Fire across the river. Once the lion ran off to reach his pride, he followed; however, because Aviva hadn't programmed running speed into the Crocodile Suit, Chris couldn't keep up and had to deactivate.
In "Creature Power Challenge", Martin activated Crocodile Power for a swimming race against Chris (who activated Hippo Power). Martin didn't have Crocodile Power for long, though; Zach Varmitech's Disrupt-o-bots hacked the bros' Creature Power Suits, causing Martin to suddenly malfunction into Tarsier Power. After Aviva had removed the Disrupt-o-bots from the Power Suits, Martin activated Crocodile Power again to have a rematch with Chris and ended up winning the race.
Season 3[]
In "Crocogator Contest", Chris activated Crocodile Power to swim him and Koki back to the Tortuga, where Jimmy Z was caught in the middle of a battle between a crocodile and an alligator. Chris then miniaturized and led the crocodile out of the Tortuga.

Trivia[]
- Crocodile Power was the first Creature Power Suit shown in Wild Kratts, appearing in the show's first episode ("Mom of a Croc"). However, since Aviva hadn't yet made a Crocodile Power Disc, Chris and Martin used their Gharial Discs to activate.
- It’s also shown that if the same genetic family, it is possible to transform into the touched creature, however this results in a unstable/temporary transformation.
- The Crocodile Power Disc was first shown in "Kerhonk". Oddly, Chris used the disc to activate Gharial Power, not Crocodile Power (even though Chris already had a Gharial Disc). This may be because the species Chris touched to activate, the false gharial, was formerly classified as a crocodile.
- In "Bad Hair Day", the Creature Power Disc Chris used to activate Crocodile Power was mistakenly shown as being the Hippo Disc.
- In "Crocogator Contest", the suit as used by Chris was a lighter and more yellowish hue, more closely matching an American crocodile.
