You've got _no_ idea.
Those things are like a little monster set on the destruction of anything other than its own species, and will quite willingly compromise its views on that point given even a little hunger.
Wanna see what a croc is like?
Watch the movie "Dragonslayer" ...a croc aspires to be Vermithrax Pejorative and would dearly love to have the size, wings, and fire that went with that creature.
I didn't find out what one of the favorite prey items of my Caiman was till several years after it got shipped off to the Bismarck zoo.
Caimans eat Piranhas.
And you know something...that didn't surprise me one bit at all. =-O
