The animals tell him that it's a horrible thing to do and give him death threats but he tries to use his tricks to eat the tasty children nonetheless. However, every time he tries, the animals of the jungle save the children. Later on, Trunky the elephant kills the crocodile by swinging him around in the air by his tail and letting him go until he flies into the sky and crashes headlong into the Sun.
