Otters are a kind of mammals, swimming ability is relatively strong, often in the water activities. Crocodiles are also animals that often hunt in the water, and they belong to reptiles. From the size point of view, it seems that crocodiles are bigger, and otters sometimes do not exceed 1 meter in length. However, small otters can fight crocodiles, and crocodiles are very afraid after seeing otters, which is a strange phenomenon.
Otters can fight crocodiles, because otters belong to mammals, but also a warm-blooded animal; But crocodiles are reptiles and cold-blooded animals. When crocodiles and otters fight, the blood circulation of otters is obviously stronger than that of crocodiles. When crocodiles are attacked, their blood circulation may not be able to keep up, and otters can easily defeat them. In addition, otters and crocodiles fight when their excellent visual ability and thick fur also played a role.
The above has been introduced, otters can fight crocodiles. When otters maim or even kill crocodiles, they may eat them. In fact, otters may also consciously kill crocodiles. Otters are also highly intelligent, lurking behind crocodiles when they spot them, and then waiting for the crocodiles to jump in and bite their necks when they are not looking, at which point the crocodiles can't fight back through their teeth. Otter teeth are also very sharp, even very thick crocodile skin, as well as hard crocodile bones, their teeth can also break.
Although otters can eat crocodiles, crocodiles are not their main food. Otters' main food is still fish in the water, and most of them dive into the water when they hunt.
