Crocodile oil

Crocodile oil

Crocodile oil is extracted from the fatty tissues of crocodiles and has been used both as preventative and a treatment for a number of human ailments and conditions for many years and across numerous cultures, including Ancient Egypt.[1] It is somewhat red in color, and less viscous than alligator oil. Both were used in the tanning industry.[2]
