Crocodile
Crocodylus niloticus
Crocodiles have been around since the time of dinosaurs.
Fish, mammals, birds — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the menu.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
