There is one main weakness shared with all
Researchers found that the small, spotted bumps that cover the skin of crocodiles and alligators are chock full of nerve endings that are exquisitely sensitive to pressure and vibration.
The "winners"—saltwater crocodiles—slammed their jaws shut with 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi), or 16,460 newtons, of bite force. By contrast, you might tear into a steak with 150 to 200 psi (890 newtons).
A crocodile would win a fight against an unarmed human.
An average crocodile that weighs 700 pounds and measures over 10 feet long is going to be too powerful for a human to overcome.
A hippo would win a fight against a crocodile. Although crocodiles are large, powerful creatures, they cannot kill a fully-grown hippo. Hippos are large, round animals that are much taller than crocodiles. The only place they would be vulnerable to attack is their legs.
If you see you're going to come anywhere close to a crocodilian, make noise by slapping the water with your oars or whistling. Stay away from riverbanks when coming around bends in a river, and make your presence known. Crocodiles or alligators basking on the shore may attack in self-defense if you surprise them.
Bears have better senses than crocodiles, and they are stronger overall than crocodiles. Also, bears are faster on land than crocodiles. Both creatures rely on their bites to finish off enemies. Of course, their bodies are very different as well.
A crocodile would win a fight against a gorilla. Most of the fights would begin in or near water, and a gorilla doesn't stand a chance in that scenario. If a crocodile bit and dragged the gorilla into the water, then it's a simple victory. The two creatures might meet each other on land, though.
And the strongest known bite force of the entire animal kingdom is…. The Crocodile -- specifically, the Saltwater Crocodile (the highest recorded “live” bite of 3700 PSI) and the Nile Crocodile (estimated 4000-5000 PSI)!
In conclusion, I think that the only animal a crocodile genuinely fears is the hippo. Smaller crocodiles may fear larger ones due to risk of cannibalism but that's pretty explainable. Animals that a crocodile may avoid due to unnecessary risk include elephants, lions, and rhinos.
Research shows that they do. However, their emotions are not the same as humans. We may anthropomorphize crocodiles and snakes in certain ways, but they are not conniving evil beasts. They feel fear and anxiety and contentedness, even if it is in their own way.
The cause of tears in crocodilians is unclear. Apparently they hiss a lot while eating and so something to do with sinuses might be activating the tear glands. But they also shed tears just from being on land for a while, whether or not they are eating.
During and after capture, crocodiles are often severely stressed and are easily killed or injured by inappropriate handling. This is particularly true of large crocodiles.
Although confrontations between lions and crocodiles are said to be rare events, incidents of crocodiles attacking lions, and vice versa, have been captured on film before - though the big cats usually shy away from confronting them.
The brain stem is where survival tactics come from, the alligator has learned to be ill-tempered and mean in order to find food and survive in the wilderness. Another place where aggression and anger comes from is the limbic system.
It may be possible for a water buffalo to use its horns to injure and possibly kill a tiger that sees it as prey. There is a slim chance of it happening, but a crocodile could fatally attack a tiger swimming in its territory.
Although the lion has a lot of advantages over the crocodile in terms of a fight, the crocodile would win in a fight against a lion. The crocodile is simply too large and powerful for the lion to defeat.
A great white shark would win a fight against a saltwater crocodile. These deadly creatures are incredibly powerful, but the great white shark has an amazing advantage in the water. Not only would this animal probably notice the crocodile first, but it also has the speed to land a devastating attack.
#6: Crocodiles
What is most likely to kill an elephant is the crocodile biting the elephant's trunk off. The elephant may then die as a result of not being able to eat and drink properly, or even breathe. On the other hand, a crocodile is most likely to kill a baby elephant and is most successful on its watery turf.
Now, some people may ask, “what if the human rolls the alligator on its stomach?” Even in that case, humans lack the power to kill a fully grown alligator. Without so much as a rock, the human won't be able to bludgeon, bite, or strangle the gator to death.
Pro Tip: If you spot a croc, back away slowly and try not to make sudden movements. Splashing in water will only draw attention. If a crocodile heads your way, run away in a straight line. The myth about moving in a zig-zag motion is just that—a myth.
You're safe in the water when launching a boat because boat noise frightens crocodiles. False – crocodiles are very sensitive to sound and vibration, and in most cases this attracts them.
