The show River Monsters (a great fishing show!) had an episode where the host, Jeremy Wade, wanted to investigate an African fish known as the Tigerfish. He couldn't catch any of them so he wanted to dive in a river to see if he could observe any Tigerfish at all. The Tigerfish is scary enough on its own: To safely dive in this river, Jeremy Wade found a guide who told him that as long as the water temperature remained below approximately 65 °F (18 °C), the crocodiles were not dangerous. Wade trusted the guide, and was filmed grabbing on to the tails of slow- moving crocodiles while he looked for the Tigerfish. Explain the scientific basis for the guide's claim that the crocodiles were not dangerous below a certain temperature.
