Free Crocodile with swim ring Papercraft by ANALOGIFT
The largest reptiles on earth are scattered in various parts of the world except for Europe. Crocodiles are one of the most powerful and deadly bite animals. Crocodiles have many unique nicknames associated with them, such as crocodile tears for example. It turns out that behind the title there is a separate story, here are five interesting facts about crocodiles.
1. Having a heart with a unique function
Crocodiles have a heart that consists of many blood vessels, what is interesting is that the crocodile's blood circulation can be adjusted or changed its direction. This condition can occur when crocodiles are in certain circumstances, such as when they are threatened or when there is interference with their bodies.
2. Do not have sweat glands
This is why crocodiles often sleep with their mouths open. Crocodiles do not have sweat glands and use their mouths as an intermediary for heat to escape from their bodies, so when their mouths are open it does not mean they want to always prey on them but also to stabilize body temperature.
3. Crocodiles do not chew food
Maybe you've seen a crocodile eat sadistically and swallow it sadistically while tearing its prey. But even though they are seen chewing, it turns out that the crocodiles don't chew their food, you know. Crocodiles swallow their food based solely on the pieces or tears of their teeth.
Now and then a crocodile also swallows a stone to help crush food in its stomach, just like a bird swallows sand to aid digestion.
4. Closely related to dinosaurs
Even though they belong to the category of reptiles, crocodiles are related to dinosaurs, to be precise bird dinosaurs. This is because in ancient times crocodiles were large creatures similar to the avian dinosaurs that appeared about 250 million years ago.
5. Crocodiles can cry
When eating, crocodiles swallow too much air, making the lachrymal glands force the tears out. But this incident did not mean that the crocodile was crying, it was the basis for the term crocodile tears. A sad reaction or crying state is not based on false feelings or emotional displays. Crocodiles also apparently take advantage of this situation to trick other animals into being off guard and can be preyed on.
