Crocodiles catch their prey by lying in a wait, and in a stalking fashion, they will wait until some poor zebra, or water buffalo comes to drink and will slowly creep up on them to the waters edge. They are an ambush predator, their whole body is made for the hunt. For instance the eyes and nose remain on top of the water while the very large body can be hidden under water, controlling itself with its strong agile tail keeping it still. After the ambush comes the next predator move, they strike so fast it needs to be slowed downed by high speed cameras. Their jaws insure that its victim cannot escape. The crocodilian family has the strongest bite force per square inch, in the entire animal kingdom, with its mouth closed tightly around its prey it starts what is called the "death roll" the animal will turn itself over and over ripping at the flesh of the victim until it is in bite size pieces.
Crocodiles are both predators and prey. They prey upon just about anything including animals, fish, and birds. Some of the animals which prey upon them are large cats, feral pigs, and other crocodiles.

So they move their heads from side to side waiting for prey to come within distance of their sensory organs. When they are activated the Crocodile attack.
Crocodiles (as well as alligators) find food primarily by making use of their well-designed anatomy. With the bulk of their long bodies hidden below the water's surface and only their nostrils and eyes above it, crocodiles patrol the rivers and lakes within their territory until they come across prey. Unseen, they may approach within striking distance and then attack.
