Nile Crocodile
A huge "Nile Crocodile", Africa's largest freshwater predator, on the bank of Victoria Nile. They possess the strongest bite force in the animal kingdom. They rank as the second-largest living reptile on Earth, trailing only the saltwater crocodile. As the crocodiles do not have sweat glands, they open their mouths, called gaping, to control their body temperature or to cool down. They are ancient apex predators with lineages tracing back over 200 million years. Wikipedia, BBC Wildlife, Britannica Kids.
