transporting their young

Hi teachers,

What is "transporting their young inside their mouths"?

Excerpts from BBC:
Mr Leitch explained that because crocodilians' forelimbs are too short to grasp anything, they use their jaws in maternal care - gently cracking open eggs and transporting their young inside their mouths.

Thanks

Hi Clive,

Thanks for answering my question. Do you mean there are two separate actions described, one with cracking eggs and one with carring their babies inside their mouths?
