Did not realise that also included other crocodiles?
Chomp first ask questions later.
I remember feeling really sad watching some nature show and they mentioned how they just bite whatever touches their mouth and sure enough it bumped into another croc floating next to it and it bit and spun off the other crocs leg
I know exactly the video you're taking about and it reminds me of something that I find mind-blowing. Just like crocodilians, sharks haven't evolved much in millions of years. But there can be a seemingly chaotic and fast paced feeding frenzy involving a dozen sharks all competing to grab a bite of something and somehow they don't bite each other. How they manage to tell peer from prey in conditions like that I have no idea.
Surely it must be related to their ability to sense changes to water pressure to an incredible degree. Otherwise they could never keep a Sharknado stable for more than a few seconds.
This was the coolest shit I'm going to read all month

I think ive heard that they still do pretty well even with missing limbs though
The meme says "everything".
