Amphibian for example on back of crocodile for a bit (9)

I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

TOAD (an amphibian) + EG (abbreviation for Latin exempli gratia = for example) + RE (on = on the subject of) + last letter (back) of [crocodil] E . A bit = to a degree = partly, not completely.
