HOW FAST CAN A CROCODILE SWIM?

A crocodile can swim at speeds  of up to 30kph(18mph)-and even faster if it's chasing prey or escaping danger.Crocodiles are superb swimmers.They hold their powerful tails to propel themselves through water.They use back feet as rudders to steer left and right

                                  See and feel

crocodiles can see underwater,thanks to a transparentlid that protects the eye.They also have excellent night vision.Sensory buds around the jaws allow crocodiles to detect vibrations-crucial when hunting in murky water  

                            I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

if you shed"crocodile tears"people think you are faking.That's because crocodiles "cry" while they are eating their victims.But it's not because they are feeling remorse;as they swallow down great lumps or meat,their jaw muscles expand and contract.The pressure created by the moving muscles squeezes tears out of the crocodile's tear glands
