Dare like Hippos Strong Like Cror

You might think Hippos is cute And Crocodile is terrified!!!

Hippos is vegetarian animal,they don't eat mean,they don’t mess with crocs or any other meat eater animal not because they afraid of been eaten,it simply because they don’t eat meat (they might rarely nibble on a dead carcass).But they just so confident and dare on defending them self.



Crocs don’t mess with hippos because hippos isn't ordinary "hip hop" animal that let you bite and swing.. But the croc is croc,one of the only reasons you might see a conflict is if the hippos have young and the hungry or stupid croc thinks it is a easy target for lunch,and when hippos notice the little ones are under threat. The crocodile's defenses were no match for the angry hippo..


Crocodile attacked and killed by angry hippos


Illustration: Vaclav Silha, the Czech photographer, had set up his camera on the banks of the Grumeti river in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, to take snaps of 50 hippos bathing in the river.

Mutual respect between these animals means fights occur very rarely,But the peaceful scene can be break when someone try to mess up.. The price is death..You know the danger of Crocodile ,although Crocodile are ferocious predators, they don't mess with hippos.


Perhaps there is a lot easier prey out there to have,but Crocodiles have Armour-plated bodies made up of tough skin and "scutes" - bony scales on the outside of the body.You know what i mean,the skin just look so thick that even a night can cut through it,but they just know they can't mess with hippos,so do you..

Saltwater Crocodiles Vs Fresh Water Crocodiles

Fact about Saltwater Crocodiles


Basically on the surface of planet earth,we have two types of crocodiles, the freshwater crocodile,and the saltwater crocodile.Saltwater Croc is a true meat eater monster compare to freshwater Croc which mainly eats fish, and is not considered a danger to man.A Man eater Crocodiles.

The specie of Crocodiles are true dinosaurs , and have changed little in the evolutionary stakes over millions of years.

The Saltwater Crocodile can swim as far as 1,000 klms (620 miles) by sea to reach it’s destination.In times of extreme drought, it has also been known to travel across land many klms to find a safe waterhole to ensure it’s survival. Although it prefers salt water, it can survive quite readily in fresh water.That is the reason why some of the fresh water cror are so aggressive but the truth is they are Saltwater Crocodile who live in fresh water.


Crocodile diet consists of fish and small mammal's and birds, which venture too close or unwittingly near the waters edge.


Saltwater Crocodile spends most of it’s time resting and stay still in certain position,they put themselves in the water in summer to avoids the hot sun, hunting mostly during the cooler hours of the day.


When hunting for food, the usual procedure is to expose only it’s eyes and nostrils above the waterline until prey is spotted, then sinking without a ripple, swims effortlessly underwater and attacks it’s prey from underneath the water, lunging upwards.



When the prey is on the target area ,they can move with amazing agility and speed, will spring from the water and up onto the bank. Razor sharp teeth, and astounding jaw pressure ensures a firm grip on it’s prey, the salty then drags it’s hapless victim into the water and proceeds to go into the ‘death roll’, rolling over and over and in the case of larger prey, such as buffalo or cattle, dragging it’s prey underwater where it consequently drowns.



In order to eat it’s food, it’s impossible for the Salty to eat underwater, and food must be consumed on top of the water. A careful examination of the above photograph, you will notice a flap of skin at the back of the throat, this acts as a safety valve, closing whilst the mouth is open under water. This prevents it from drowning.

Man bitten By Crocodile

 Previously we talked about those who dance with Cror,crazy right? The saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile on planet earth.If your hand or any part of your body bite by crocodile,just leave it..

And you know there are some Zoo or circus do provide trained animals show like performers sticking his head into the mouth of a crocodile. Well,kids don't ever try it even they invite you to have a try.

Think about it,what if a bead of sweat runs off your head and into the crocs mouth and the crocs instinctively bites down on your head?

Sometime,we often ask people :"Hey, give me your hand.."Well Below is a story of a man who lent a hand to a crocodile...It was an old story (2007)but well worth to recap.

WARNING: This story contains strong images

Mr Po-yu, a 28-year-old zoo keeper, who lent a hand to a crocodile...

 The crocodile sits contentedly with his prize clamped between his jaws(you should never believe Croc )

Po-yu had the arm severed at the elbow as he tried to treat the fearsome 31-stone, 18ft crocodile with antibiotics because it had lost its appetite.Well you know those Crocs are always look like they were so lazy to move..(acting...perhaps)

The crocodile at lighting speed bitten on his hand....Yeah,like we eating KFC wings...he lost his hand while blood flow all over the place!!Stunned colleagues applied a tourniquet to the shocked vet as the crocodile showing off with the limb in its jaws. A worker fired two bullets at it to kill it so the arm could be retrieved, but he missed.(can you believe it)

The sound of the gunfire, however, caused the crocodile to drop its anticipated snack and a courageous official jumped into the pen and retrieved the arm, which was packed in ice.

The left had been re-attached after spending several minutes in a crocodile's mouth..

After a seven-hour reattachment operation, doctors were confident that it would be a success, but warned Mr Po-yu that because they had to remove damaged bone and skin, his arm would be shorter than before...

  Mr Po-yu, a 28-year-old zoo keeper, who lent a hand to a crocodile use his left hand to say helo.....

As he waved a cheerful salute from his hospital bed, Chang Po-yu was restricted to using his right arm.

"They are an ancient lineage, and are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs. They are believed to be 200 million years old whereas dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago; crocodiles survived great extinction events."

"The larger species of crocodiles are very dangerous to humans. The main danger that crocodiles pose is not their ability to run after a person but their ability to strike before the person can react.

The Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are the most dangerous, killing hundreds of people each year in parts of south-east Asia and Africa. Mugger crocodiles and possibly the endangered Black Caiman are also very dangerous to humans." (Part quote from Wikipedia)
