Crocodiles perform a "death roll" — they grab prey and rapidly spin along their long axis to tear off large chunks of flesh. The rotational force is so intense that a crocodile's tail can rotate them 360° underwater.

Krokodillen "death-rolls" — ze grijpen prooi en draaien snel rond hun lengte-as om grote stukken vlees af te scheuren. De rotatiekracht is zo hevig dat een krokodillenstaart hen 360° kan ronddraaien onder water.
