Гребнистый крокодил — самый мощный укус на планете

In the murky waters of rivers and estuaries from India to Australia lurks a creature that has barely changed over the last hundred million years. The saltwater crocodile is the largest reptile on our planet and one of the most perfect predators in the entire history of life on Earth. Its ancestors hunted dinosaurs and survived the very catastrophe that wiped them off the face of the Earth. In this video, we reveal the incredible biology of this ancient giant. You will learn how an adult male grows to more than six meters and weighs as much as an entire passenger car. Why its bite force of nearly 3,700 pounds per square inch is the absolute record among all animals living today, twice as powerful as the bite of a great white shark or a hippopotamus. We will show how this predator slows its heart to just two or three beats per minute and is able to lie underwater without a single breath for up to two hours. How it crosses the open ocean, riding sea currents and covering more than five hundred kilometers. How it uses the famous "death roll" to tear its prey to pieces. You will learn that behind this ancient armored exterior hides a surprisingly clever hunter: its skin is more sensitive than human fingertips, and it is even capable of using tools to lure prey.
