Crocodile Behavior

Crocodiles are very large animals with very odd behaviors. Crocodiles do not chew their food, but instead they tear it off in pieces and swallow it whole. They bite into their prey and twist their bodies in circles to tear it into pieces. Crocodiles live in ponds, lakes and rivers. They can stay under water for over two hours giving them an advantage over their prey. They stay very still while watching their prey come for a drink. Crocodiles have more than 100 pounds of bite force that allows them to take down very large prey. The biggest meal they get each year is bison when the bison migrate through the crocodile’s domain to their summer home.
