In a sentence

わにcrocodileくちmouthおおきい大きいbig

A crocodile's mouth is big

How it works

(of) links two nouns to show possession: わに (crocodile) + (of) + くち (mouth) means "the crocodile's mouth". (topic) then raises that whole phrase as the topic — "as for the crocodile's mouth…". The adjective 大きいおおきい (big) ends the sentence on its own; (い-adjective)-adjectives don't need です (is) in plain speech.
