The Nile crocodile is the crocodile of Africa. It can swim swiftly and quickly. It also has a unique way of running on land called the "crocodile gallop". The Nile crocodile has a bite that has the same amount of force as you wearing a school bus as a hat! When catching prey, this crocodile lays still in the water, waiting for buffalo, zebras, or other animals that come to the water to drink. When they come, the crocodile bites one on the neck and hauls it into the water. When the animal is dead, the crocodile rips off chunks of meat and swallows them whole. Crocodiles have lots of teeth, but they don't use them to chew. They have a special digestive system to break down the meat they eat.
