The crocodile's "death roll" is a survival technique used to subdue and disorient prey. By spinning rapidly in the water, the crocodile can tear apart larger animals or dislodge them from their grip, making it easier to consume. This tactic not only helps in handling prey but also reduces the risk of injury to the crocodile itself during a struggle. Overall, the death roll enhances the crocodile's efficiency as a predator.
