Forum Overview :: Dwarf Fortress
 
Use the unit list. (u) by Arbit 12/02/2010, 4:20pm PST
From there, there is a "zoom to creature" key, I think (c). You can find the crocodile this way, too. Hostile and wild creatures are normally on the bottom of the list. But really, as long as you pause the game immediately following the announcement, the "zoom to announcement" function should take you pretty much right to the scene.

Use dwarf therapist. It's invaluable for enabling/disabling labors en masse, assigning custom profession names, etc. It also keeps track of happiness via handy color coded boxes next to each dwarf's name. It doesn't track hunger, but once you get the hang of farming it is trivial to keep your dwarfs fed and intoxicated.
