According to ancient western legends, crocodiles have both a fierce and cruel side and a cunning and treacherous side. When it peeks at people, livestock, beasts, fish and other prey, it often tears first, making you feel sorry for others, so that you are paralyzed by hallucinations, lose vigilance against its sudden attack, and be swallowed up by its violence in an unguarded state. On the other hand, when crocodiles catch their prey, they will shed tears and devour it greedily. In a word, this language refers to false tears and disguised sympathy. Later, it was extended to satirize those insidious and cunning people, while hurting others, pretending to be merciful and kind.

In fact, when crocodiles go out hunting, they need to keep their eyes moist, so they need to cry. Moreover, when the prey is eaten, the salt in the crocodile will increase, so the crocodile will shed tears to remove these salts and keep the salt in his body at a stable level.
