Animal Kingdom Loves to Eat Over millennia, many marvelous mouths have evolved for biting, chewing, crushing, slurping, swallowing and licking lips after all, kinds of delicious meals or what I assume are delicious meals to them.

動物王國愛吃千百年來，許多奇妙的嘴巴進化出咬、嚼、碾、嘖、吞、舔嘴脣後，各種美味的飯菜或我認為對它們來說是美味的飯菜。

If you were a leatherback sea turtle, for example, your mouth would be lined with these cartilaginous spikes so you could chop down on stinging jellyfish.

比如說，如果你是一隻稜皮海龜，你的嘴裡就會有這些軟骨狀的尖刺，這樣你就可以砍下刺痛的水母。

If you were a woodpecker, the back of your tongue would be wrapped around your brain.

如果你是一隻啄木鳥，你的舌頭後面就會纏繞著你的大腦。

Help stabilize your skull while the front of your tongue fished out insects from tree bark.

幫助穩定你的頭骨，同時舌頭前端從樹皮上撈出昆蟲。

And if you were a blue whale, well, you basically just have a giant toothbrush for a mouth, combing the water for krill.

如果你是一頭藍鯨，那麼，你基本上只有一個巨大的牙刷作為嘴巴，梳理水中的磷蝦。

But when it comes to biting, crushing and sheer prehistoric power, one particular animal comes to mind.

但說到咬合、碾壓和純粹的史前力量，我想到了一種特殊的動物。

A crocodile, evolutionarily speaking, The Crocodilian group is hundreds of millions of years old and includes crocodiles, alligators, caimans and burials.

鱷魚，從進化上講，鱷魚族有上億年的歷史，包括鱷魚、鱷魚、凱門鱷和墓葬。

E mean, just look at this thing.

我是說，看看這個東西。

Not only can these living dinosaurs hold their breath for hours sleep with one eye open and cry little crocodile tears, but they also have one of the strongest fights ever measured, clocking in at over 16,000 Newtons, which we all know is the force that would give a massive 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m per second per second or 100,000 diets Newton time.

這些活生生的恐龍不僅可以屏住呼吸睡上幾個小時，睜著一隻眼睛哭出小鱷魚的眼淚，而且它們的戰鬥力也是有史以來測得最強的，時速超過16000牛頓，我們都知道，這是一個巨大的1公斤的力量，可以讓一個巨大的1公斤的加速度達到每秒1米，也就是10萬飲食牛頓時間。

In other words, crocodilians bite down with the strength roughly 17 times stronger than a human gnawing at a tough stick.

換句話說，鱷魚咬下去的力氣大概是人類啃硬棒的17倍。

And while maybe no surprise that they make us look about as effective as adult pair of tweezers, even hyenas can only chopped down in about 1/4 of that.

雖然也許並不奇怪，它們讓我們看起來和成年的鑷子一樣有效，但即使是鬣狗也只能砍倒1/4左右。

And they can crush a giraffes femur.

而且它們可以壓碎長頸鹿的股骨。

And it makes sense because crocks have been known to eat pretty much anything.

這也說得通，因為Crocks已經被稱為吃幾乎所有的東西。

Not only fish, frogs, crabs, insects but also birds, turtles, pigs, buffalo monkeys, porcupines, sharks, snakes, zebras and even other crocodiles.

不僅有魚、青蛙、螃蟹、昆蟲，還有鳥類、烏龜、豬、水牛猴、豪豬、鯊魚、蛇、斑馬甚至其他鱷魚。

And if you're wondering how all that's possible, well, let's take a look at the crocodilian jaw.

如果你想知道這一切是怎麼做到的，那麼，讓我們來看看鱷魚的下巴。

We're now discovering that their mouths are literally double jointed.

我們現在發現它們的嘴是雙關節的。

In addition to the primary jaw joint at the rear of the school, which opens and closes their mouths, they have a second jaw joint called the Terror Go Mandibular.

除了學校後方的主要下頜關節可以開合嘴巴外，他們還有第二個下頜關節，叫恐怖去下頜。

This joint works like a brace, sort of like your knee, helping to distribute force in preventing the job from twisting or dislocating as a chalks.

這個關節的作用就像一個支架，有點像你的膝蓋，幫助分配力，防止工作扭曲或脫臼作為一個粉筆。

A bunch of their bite force comes from a muscle called the adductor mandibular posterior.

他們的咬合力有一堆來自於一塊叫做下頜後外展肌的肌肉。

Near the second joint, we mammals lost it a while back, but it's the same one T Rex used to chow down on its prey, so just steer clear that mouth, okay, But luckily for the field, biologists and wildlife veterinarians like myself, the muscles of Crock would use to open that jaw arm or for stability than strength, meaning it's quite tough for them to open their mouths if restricted.

在第二個關節附近，我們哺乳動物不久前失去了它，但它是T Rex用來咀嚼獵物的那個關節，所以只要避開那張嘴就可以了，好吧，但幸運的是，對於現場，生物學家和野生動物獸醫像我一樣，Crock的肌肉會用來打開那個下頜臂或用於穩定比力量，這意味著如果限制它們打開嘴，它相當艱難。

In fact, when we need to study, treat or transport them way, often hold their jaws together with rubber bands or even electrical table, please don't try this at home.

其實，當我們需要用學習、治療或運輸它們的方式時，往往會用橡皮筋甚至是電錶把它們的下巴固定在一起，請不要在家裡嘗試這樣做。

Filling these impressive jaws are 60 some hollow teeth, which are constantly being replaced by new teeth underneath a single crock in cycle through thousands of teeth in their lifetime.

填滿這些令人印象深刻的下巴的是60顆有些空心的牙齒，在它們的一生中，通過數千顆牙齒的循環，它們在一個羊角辮下不斷被新的牙齒取代。

Making them Polly Fire didn't just like sharks, But despite all of these teeth, crocs don't actually to their food.

讓它們成為波利火併不只是像鯊魚一樣，但儘管有這些牙齒，鱷魚實際上並不喜歡它們的食物。

They don't even use their tongue because it's fixed in place.

他們甚至不用舌頭，因為舌頭是固定的。

Instead, when dinner, camping in one bite, approx like Sean and perform the death roll which looks a little something like this.

相反，吃飯的時候，一口氣露營，大約像肖恩一樣，進行死亡卷，看起來有點像這樣。

With moves like this, some crock species can eat upto half of their body weight in just one meal, just for reference.

像這樣的動作，有些呱呱魚種一頓飯就能吃到體重的一半，僅供參考。

That would be the equivalent of me eating 10 Henry's in one sitting without chewing.

這就相當於我一次吃了10個亨利，卻沒有咀嚼。

Despite their leathery and tough exterior, thes incredible creatures are hypersensitive to their environment, even with that ferocious mountain.

儘管它們的外表皮實堅韌，但這些不可思議的生物對環境的敏感度很高，即使是那座凶猛的山。

Unlike alligators, crocodiles could move between fresh and saltwater easily, thanks to special glands in their mouth, which is a pretty rare animals superpower.

與鱷魚不同，鱷魚可以在淡水和海水之間輕鬆移動，這要歸功於它們嘴裡的特殊腺體，這是一種相當罕見的動物超能力。

They can also sense tiny changes in pressure and vibrations around them, with these indents on their job, helping to locate prey and dark or murky water.

它們還能感覺到周圍微小的壓力和振動變化，這些凹陷的地方就是它們的工作，幫助尋找獵物和黑暗或渾濁的水面。

And they're surprisingly family oriented when the time comes to move those hatchlings from the safety of their nest, crocodilian moms use those ferocious mouse to carry them tenderly to the water, careful not to crush them.

而且它們竟然是以家庭為組織、部門的，當把那些幼體從安全的巢穴裡搬出來的時候，鱷魚媽媽用那些凶猛的老鼠把它們溫柔地抱到水裡，小心翼翼地不把它們壓死。

It's been said that their snouts are more sensitive than a human fingertip.

有人說，它們的鼻子比人的手指頭還敏感。

Crocodilians have a vicious reputation, but they aren't immune to human impact.

鱷魚的名聲很惡毒，但它們也不能倖免於人類的衝擊。

Remember that Garel I showed you.

記得我給你看的那個Garel.

At one point, it was estimated there were only 200 breeding adults left in the world today, thanks to intensified research and conservation efforts.

在加強研究和保護的努力下，據估計，如今世界上只剩下200只繁殖的成鳥。

There are over 2000 living in central India's Shamble River, and I've personally worked with the world's most endangered crocodilian, the Philippine crocodile.

在印度中部的香波河裡生活著2000多條，我曾親自與世界上最瀕臨滅絕的鱷魚--菲律賓鱷魚合作。

This individuals reach a size where she has a much better chance of surviving in the wild.

這種個體達到一定的大小，它在野外生存的機會更大。

And so we're going to be releasing her tomorrow.

所以我們明天就會把她放出來。

And ideally, she's gonna find a boyfriend and they're gonna make babies.

理想情況下，她會找到一個男朋友，他們會生孩子。

And they're gonna help the population of these crocodiles.

他們會幫助這些鱷魚的數量。

That's why organizations like the Mob a Y, a foundation in the Crocodile Research Coalition remind us that this success story is far from over.

這就是為什麼像Mob a Y這樣的組織，鱷魚研究聯盟中的一個基金會提醒我們，這個成功的故事遠未結束。

You cannot just protect the crocodiles, just protect a species.

你不能只保護鱷魚，只保護一個物種。

So that's great.

所以，這是偉大的。

We have now stabilized the crocodile population, but its prey population has depleted.

我們現在已經穩定了鱷魚的數量，但它的獵物數量已經減少了。

Its habitat has been lost.

它的棲息地已經消失了。

Our mission is to promote crocodile conservation as well as conservation of their habitat throughout Central America and the Caribbean through research, education and community involvement.

我們的使命是通過研究、教育和社區參與，促進中美洲和加勒比地區的鱷魚保護及其棲息地的保護。
