Is breathing out in crocodiles active or passive?
Breathing out in crocodiles is a passive process. As the muscles used for inhalation relax, the chest cavity naturally decreases in size causing air to be expelled from the lungs. Crocodiles do not have a diaphragm like mammals to actively control their breathing.
