Snooki's trusted Crocodilly is back -- and protecting some pretty precious cargo from would-be monsters.

In the latest episode of MTV.com's original cartoon series "Cribmates," Nicole and Jenni try to have a double date with their men, but they have a bit of difficulty putting their daughters down in the crib.
