   Thank you for the touching video!
   Although the crocodile has the most powerful bite force in the animal kingdom, For example, bite force of a combed crocodile, living in northern Australia, almost three times the force of a lion or tiger bite, at the same time, his jaw is incredibly sensitive. Even more sensitive than human fingertips.
   How is it possible with all his seeming thick skin?

   Turns out, the crocodile's jaw is covered with thousands of sensitive bumps. Here's what the scientist Duncan Leich said about them after careful research.: 'Each nerve ending comes out of a separate hole in the skull.'. This structure protects the nerve tissues of the jaws and at the same time makes them sensitive.. Thanks to this, the crocodile can distinguish between edible and inedible items., and female crocodiles can carry their young in the mouth, without hurting them.

   Crocodile jaws are a unique combination of strength and sensitivity, laid down by the Creator. What a care!

   I just want to exclaim:
   “How numerous are Your works, God! You have done everything wisely; the earth is full of Your works'!
