Crocodiles typically hunt by ambushing their prey near the water's edge. They use their powerful jaws and sharp teeth to grab hold of their victims and drag them into the water where they can drown them. Crocodiles are skilled predators and can swiftly strike when an opportunity arises.
They stay submerged in water, invisible to unsuspecting prey. When the land mammals come to water bodies to drink, they ambush the prey and eat them.
They use their back jaws clamping down with massive force equal to a school bus moving 40-45mph.

crocodiles are ambush predator so the they wait for there prey to come or they learn what there prey does at what time and finds the best time to attack
Crocodiles eat by drowning their prey first, the they rip and tear chunks and pieces off of their prey.... yum. They cant chew because of their jaws.
They prefer to eat anything made of meat, usually half rotten (as their teeth are not designed for mastication) as they take what they catch to a larder in their underwater lair.
