Wait, really?
Yes. Their jaw muscles are designed to hold prey, so their bite down is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, most of their muscle mass is dedicated to that single action, not the other way. That's why you can hold their mouths shut with rubber bands or your bare hands, if need be.
Sounds like very poorly designed fitness plan? Maybe stop skipping jaw antagonist muscles day?
I may need to append that its due to the level one grabs the chadolines mouth. You have been warned.
Apparently an elastic band could hold it shut. If I recall correctly. Now saying out loud I’m not sure that I did.
I'm sure not gonna be the one to get close enough to hold its mouth shut. No siree.
Another fun fact about crocodiles, and alligators is that they actually have the immune systems that conservatives think they have.
But for real, they are trying to make new antibiotics from crocodile and alligator blood.
They’re kinda scared of hippos, so much so that hippo baby’s use them for teething and they just kinda take it.
Living every rich man's dream - lie in a pool all day and go safari hunting without a licence. What more could one possibly need??
When you reach max level, you stop leveling.
Boring animal: Chomp!
