Starving?

in #fact7 years ago (edited)

Did you know?

Crocodiles can survive up to 3 years without any food.

3 years? Some people can't wait for 3 hours. Their metabolism is very low through that time and the crocodiles are some very survival specialists.

They can also survive in frozen lakes - they will stick their head out of the water so they can beathe when the water is freezing.

You also should not be that afraid of them - far more people die per year by insects or farm animals than by crocodiles. Hippos are also far more dangerous to humans.

Of course that does not mean that you should cuddle with them.

I hope you liked this fact as much as I did!
