300+ probably _known_. Who knows what is the real count?

I know I will never be killed by a crocodile bite. I will die of fright before it reaches me.



They're pretty good at sneaking up on you.

They generally kill you by pulling you under, and drowning you.

Then, they let you rot, and gobble up the chunks, as they fall off.

The really dangerous African river beasts, though, are hippos. Even the crocs leave them alone.


I just saw a video this morning of a baby hippo using an adult crocodile as a teething ring.
