jaws

Crocodiles can only grip and rip with their massive jaws, they can not chew. Their teeth are designed for grasping and holding prey rather than cutting off pieces of meat.
Despite their relative lethargy, saltwater crocodiles are agile predators and display surprising agility and speed when necessary, usually during strikes at prey.

[Osia Strasner]

You are really piquing my interest with this crocodile series....so, if they cannot chew they just swallow their prey whole after they ripped it to shreds with their teeth, and the digestion just happens in their stomachs?! I know I could google it, but you seem the expert on this species!! ;-)))
