crocodile teeth
Snapping jaw armament
Crocodile teeth are the large, visible teeth of a crocodile, often referenced for their fearsome appearance.
The phrase appears in children's games and songs, most familiarly in the clapping game where players risk their fingers between another's hands: Crocodile, crocodile, may I cross your golden river?
The image suggests danger that snaps shut without warning.
