I believe that crocs have great strength in their bite but much weaker muscles for opening their jaws. What you do is leap on its back and hold the jaws shut with one arm whilst feverishly texting for help with the other. Or possibly not. :)

Yes a simple elastic band over a crocs mouth will stop it opening it, but just try and put one on should be fun.

Throw a cat at it to keep it busy then run away. ;)
