How do crocodiles protect themselves?
Crocodiles can use their tails for protection, but their main
form of defence is to bite attackers with their powerful jaws,
equipped with sharp teeth to penetrate and hold on. Research
indicates that crocodiles have a bite comparable to the low end of
the power that T Rex was estimated to have.
As crocodiles are apex predators, at the top of their food
chain, they have minimal need to protect themselves from other
predators.
