Why can crocodiles breathe in water? Everyone knows that crocodiles are not amphibians.

Adult crocodiles are often underwater, with only their eyes and nose exposed. They have keen eyes and ears and will sink immediately when they are frightened. In the afternoon, I float in the sun, and at night, my eyes are bright. Crocodiles, like birds, circulate gas in one direction through their lungs, unlike mammals, where gas enters and exits through small liquid sacs. Gas enters from the trachea, passes through the lungs to the tail, and then is discharged from the nostrils through the trachea. This function enables crocodiles to absorb more oxygen through their lungs when needed than mammals.
