The baby crocodile is simply just a young crocodile. It is amphibious but rather slow-moving. It poses little threat to a player, as escape is easy. In UnNetHack, tourists will start the game with a baby crocodile as pet.

While slow, the crocodile can do significant damage, and is much more difficult a foe than its younger form.

In addition to eating the corpse for a surprisingly large amount of nutrition, there is an alternative use for the corpse: polypiling it into a pair of non-cursed fireproof +0 low boots. This is mostly only worth doing for the novelty value.

Encyclopedia entry

A big animal with the appearance of a lizard, constituting
 an order of the reptiles (_Loricata_ or _Crocodylia_), the
 crocodile is a large, dangerous predator native to tropical
 and subtropical climes. It spends most of its time in large
 bodies of water.
