ALL predictions made by a scientific theory MUST be subject to potential disproof; therefore, if the Croc o' Dile theory is a scientific theory, there must be some possible experiment or observation that would disprove this prediction if the theory is incorrect. If no such disproof is possible, the theory is not science, and will be dismissed by scientists.
