HOW FAST CAN A CROCODILE SWIM?
Did you know that a crocodile can swim over 110 kilometers per hour? That's right – the fastest swimmer in the world is the crocodile!
Crocodiles are large reptiles that live in rivers, lakes, and swamps around the world. They have four webbed feet and a long, powerful tail that helps them swim quickly. Crocodiles can reach speeds of over 110 kilometers per hour when they are swimming. That's faster than most cars! When a crocodile is swimming, its body is curved in an 'S' shape. This helps it move faster through the water. The crocodile uses its powerful tail to propel itself forward. Crocodiles are also very good hunters. They can use their speed to catch their prey. The crocodile will surprise its prey by quickly swimming up to it and grabbing it with its strong jaws.
Crocodiles have been around for millions of years, and they are well adapted for swimming. The next time you go to the beach or a lake, remember that a crocodile can swim faster than you can run!
