Facts about crocodiles, snakes and other reptiles, including speed on land, behavior and which animals can safely share a tank.

How Fast Can a Crocodile Run?

A crocodile can run about 11 mph (18 km/h) at most on land and tires before 100 meters. See which crocodiles are fastest and if you can outrun one.

Can hermit crabs and snakes live together? No. They can injure each other and need different heat, humidity and water, so house them apart.

Crocodiles rarely eat crocodiles their own size because fights are risky, but large adults do eat smaller ones. Learn when cannibalism happens.
