Crocodiles are very fast over little distance, even out of water. They have awfully authoritative jaws and razor-sharp teeth for tearing flesh, but cannot open their mouth if it is held closed, hence there are stories of people evading from the long-shouted Nile Crocodile by property its oral cavity push to. All large crocodiles also have sharp and prevailing claws. Crocodiles are ensnare hunters, waiting for fish or land animals to come close, then attacking with a rush. As cold-blooded predators, they can live on long periods without food, and rarely need to actively go hunting. Despite their slow expression, crocodiles are top-level predators in their chosen atmosphere, and various species have been observed attacking and killing lions, large ungulates and even shark.
Crocodiles in the wild are protected in Australia and many other parts of the world, but they also are farmed commercially, and their hide is tanned into leather and used to make handbags, boots, and the like, while crocodile meat is considered a delicacy by connoisseurs.
