A strange picture taken on one of the coasts of the Australian state of Queensland showed a huge, hardened crocodile under the mud, while its tail disappeared into the murky waters, in a scene in which it is difficult, with the union and similarity of the colors, to distinguish the presence of the crocodile or not.
And this massive killer reptile can crush its powerful jaws with more force than an industrial car crusher.
Crocodiles can grow in that area up to 6 meters long, and they can hold their breath under water for an hour and a half.
The researchers measured the muddy crocodile’s bite at 3,700 pounds per square inch, more than the force of a car-smashing hydraulic press of 2,000 pounds per square inch.
According to a local resident, “The way a crocodile hunts is that its prey cannot tell when it is approaching.”
While crocodile attacks on humans are rare, they can happen. From 2015 to 2018, four people were killed in Australia in crocodile attacks.
