How Doth the Little Crocodile (Spanish: Cómo hace el pequeño cocodrilo)[a] is both a painting and an outdoor bronze sculpture by British-born Mexican surrealist artist Leonora Carrington.

[1] The statue was cast around that time and in 2000, it was donated to the government of Mexico City, who installed it in a pond at Chapultepec Park, in the Miguel Hidalgo borough.

The sculpture was relocated in 2006 to Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, in the Cuauhtémoc borough, in downtown Mexico City.

[4] Carrington presented Masri with a representation of How Doth the Little Crocodile, which Masri recalled was "done completely in paper wrapped in cloth",[3] and he added: Curiously [...] after we finished 'Freedom in Bronze' and the exhibition was still on, Leonora called me and invited me for a drink [... At her home], she opened the door to a room I had never been in and I was facing the piece called Crocodile [...] I became very excited because I had not expected it.

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, then-head of government, decided to pay homage to Carrington and her contributions to the city, who accepted it as long as it was a small event.
