Crocodiles defend themselves primarily through their physical adaptations and behaviors. They have tough, scaly skin that acts as armor against predators, sharp teeth for biting, and powerful tails for striking. They also have excellent senses, including keen eyesight and hearing, which help them detect potential threats. When feeling threatened, crocodiles may hiss, lunge, or use their powerful jaws to defend themselves.
