Alligator Tails and Crocodile Cakes

"Hide and Seek": Crocodile and Alligator play hide-and-seek in the jungle.

But their long, floppy tails give the game away. "Bake a Cake": Crocodile is trying to bake a lovely cake, but Alligator isn't helping much - he drops the flour, smashes the sugar bowl, and tries to juggle the eggs.
