Their tail is used for propulsion, and as a highly dangerous weapon. If they can swat your legs with it, you get one or both legs severely broken, and while you are helpless, and can't run away, they will drag you into the water, where they have the greater advantage. They do not have tongues, so they swallow their meals in one chunk; their stomachs contain strong acids that dissolve flesh, and bone alike.
