Crocodiles have a four-chambered heart.

  • Adaptation to their maximum portion of the life cycle is done in water since they need to minimize the oxygen loss when submerged and the four-chambered hearts decrease the heartbeat by 2-3/minute and normalize this rate when the crocodile is above water.
  • The crocodile may have the most complex circulatory vertebrate system.
  • This has a four-chambered heart and two ventricles, an uncommon characteristic between the current reptiles, and both the left and the right aorta, which are connected by a hole called the Panizza Foramen.
  • Crocodiles belong to Crocodylidae family.
