Crocosaurus Cove; Fun crocodile facts

HUNTING PROWESS
Crocs have remained unchanged for between 80 to 100 million years, depending on who you speak to. The reasons for that are their excellent hearing, eyesight – during day or night – and sense of smell. Even if they can’t see, hear, or smell you, they have what are called dermal pressure sensors, which are on every scale of the body – there are hundreds on the head – and are about the size of a pinhead. They can sense vibrations through those. It’s believed they can feel a heartbeat in the water up to 1km away.
