   Now suppose a big SUV hits a Mini head on and crushes it, will the driver of   
   SUV shed real tears or crocodile tears over the dead people?   
      
   This happens in the real world, probably 1000 more likely than a crocodile   
   attacking people.   
      
   You can fight an alligator but not physics. The mass of the SUVs and the high   
   bumpers are overwhelming. Just pray not to get hit. :(
