    The crocodile is surprisingly fast on land. If pursued by a crocodile, a person should run in a zigzag
    motion, for the crocodile has little or no ability to make sudden changes of direction. The digestive
    juices of crocodiles contain so much hydrochloric acid that they have dissovled iron spearheads and
    six-inch steel hooks. A crocodile really does produce tears, but they’re not due to sadness. The tears
    are glandular secretions that work to expel excess salt from the eyes, Hence, ‘ crocodile tears’ are
    false tears.
