This huge Nile crocodile died mysteriously in captivity. Veterinary scientist Mark Evans joins experts in anatomy, evolution, and behaviour, in a bid to get under the skin of the crocodile. • The team uncovers the crocodile's incredible jaw muscles, as biologist Simon Watt travels to Florida to test the huge strength of the massive reptile's bite – the most powerful in the animal kingdom! • But while crocodiles' spiked teeth are excellent for gripping prey as they plunge into a death roll, they are useless for chewing. So how do these animals manage to digest large chunks of raw meat and bone?
