Yes is the simple answer. All 23 species of Crocodilians can bite underwater, but they cannot eat underwater. They have a valve at the back of their throat called a palatal valve that closes off the throat so water cannot enter the lungs and drown them. they must come to the surface in order to swallow what they are eating.
