How fast can a Crocodile swim and run, and how many eye lids does a crocodile have??

Swim: 30 to 35 km/h.
Run: 12 to 17 km/h

They have 2 pairs of eyelids.....An external pair and a second pair of nictitating membranes, which are responsible for the protection of their eyes when they are under water.

How fast can a Crocodile

swimThey can swim much faster by moving their body and tail in a sinouous fashion, and they can sustain this form of movement much longer at about 30 to 35 km/h.

run crocodiles are capable of surprising bursts of speeds, briefly reaching up to 12 to 14 km/h

and how many eye lids does a crocodile have??
Crocodilians' eyes are immobile spheres covered by three eyelids: the third eyelid, the nictitating membrane, is transparent, but protects the eye from water.

??? better???

I've been told by a guide that white rhino can't swim, because they can't lift their heads high enough. Black rhino, on the other hand, can swim.
