According to the poet, if someone is new to the forest and is unfamiliar with these hazardous animals, it will be difficult to distinguish them from others who hunt other animals for sustenance. However, if you do get caught by a crocodile or a hyena, then know that it is better to be eaten than eaten alive. Crocodiles are aquatic reptiles that possess strong jaws and powerful muscles that allow them to capture and kill their prey. They have been known to eat animals as large as humans. Crocodiles can be divided into three categories based on location and diet: true crocodiles, false crocodiles, and caimans. True crocodiles include alligators, crocodiles, and gharials. These animals eat fish, birds, and mammals. False crocodiles include saltwater crocodiles and American alligators. They are found in coastal habitats from North America to Australia and prefer to eat animals smaller than themselves. Finally, caimans are found in South America and the Caribbean and are unique in that they eat both plants and animals. They are believed to be the closest relatives of crocodiles and are also considered dangerous predators. Each pride has a leader who controls the group by fighting for dominance over others of its kind.
