Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Very few people like crocodiles. Crocodiles have cruel eyes and
huge jaws full of teeth that often scare people. After catching its prey, a
crocodile often hides its prey underground and eats it when the flesh is
rotten. A crocodile catches its prey by quietly swimming close to it and, then,
snapping at its victims with its jaws and dragging it under water to drown it.
All kinds of animals such as cats, dogs, deer, snakes, fish, smaller crocodiles
and even human beings can be a crocodile’s meal. Despite having such a large
number of teeth, a crocodile is unable to chew on meat. Instead, it breaks up
its food by shaking its head violently from side to side or rolling its body to
tear the flesh from the dead animals.
Another important weapon of a crocodile is its tail. When
lashing its long tail, a crocodile creates such a great force that it can knock
off any man or animal. It is its huge tail that allows it to swim.
