A crocodile may be able to swallow fish whole. But, for anything larger, the crocodile must grip onto a part of the prey and spin until a piece of flesh is ripped off and then swallowed. This is because the crocodile doesn't have shearing teeth.
They stay submerged in water, invisible to unsuspecting prey. When the land mammals come to water bodies to drink, they ambush the prey and eat them.
They use their back jaws clamping down with massive force equal to a school bus moving 40-45mph.
