How fast can a crocodile gallop?

Question

How fast can a crocodile gallop?

Answer 1

Actually, oikos, though I agree with most of your answers, Johnston's crocs DO gallop. At about 10 miles per hour or so depending on who you listen to. Lemme see if I can find a video clip of it... it's cool stuff.

Answer 2

I know how fast they can run..

At a short distance, particularly large crocodiles can run as fast as a racing horse (roughly 25 - 30MPH!)

Answer 3

In a gallop, all four feet are off the ground at the same time. Crocs do not gallop.

Answer 4

About 11 miles per hour. But only for short distances, like 20 feet, not more.

Answer 5

2mph

Answer 6

Depends on how fast the horse they are on is going.

Answer 7

they go 12-14mph for short periods of time.  this is not their best defense.  they are more comfortable as ambush preditors in teh water were you can't see them.
