I'm wondering if anyone has done a study to test
which of the crocodylians fought the most visciously - palpebrated or
unpalpebrated (are these words?). After all crocs bring down food and
perform intraspecific combat with their mouths first and foremost. Also a
connection between blunter snouts and bone adorned eyes sounds like all the soft
areas of the face are being shielded. Chris, I know you said they don't
feed as roughly, does the same apply for fighting and/or initial
hunting?
