The largest crocodile ranking in prehistoric times
The largest crocodiles in prehistoric times were ranked as king crocodiles, spineless crocodiles, Prussian crocodiles and fear crocodiles.

This crocodile is called muscle crocodile, which means "muscle crocodile", but unfortunately, this crocodile is now extinct. As the largest crocodile surviving in prehistoric times, this crocodile is 10 meter long and weighs 4.5 tons. In that era of behemoths, crocodiles were almost the only creatures that could compete with dinosaurs.

Prussian crocodile, who lived in the late Miocene 8 million years ago, is one of the largest crocodiles ever lived on earth. Prussian crocodile is a prehistoric crocodile and the ancestor of modern crocodiles. The alligator Proust is as long as 12.5 meters, even longer than a bus. It weighs 8.4 tons and consumes about 40 kilograms of food every day on average.

Living habits of crocodiles

Crocodiles mainly feed on fish, waterfowl, rabbits, deer and frogs, and are carnivorous animals. Crocodiles are generally regarded as aquatic animals, but this aggressive creature may have some secret "skills". Modern crocodiles and birds have similar breathing patterns and auxiliary breathing systems. It is possible that Triassic primitive dragons evolved this respiratory system, and most of their descendants also had similar respiratory systems.

When American alligators inhale, the inhaled air will enter the second bronchus, flow through the third bronchus for gas exchange, and finally enter the first bronchus. When the Chinese alligator exhales, the air will pass through the second bronchus, the third bronchus, the first bronchus and finally exhale from the trachea. Modern birds have a similar way of breathing. During breathing, air circulates in the airbag in one direction.
