Crocodile bite strength is far higher than any other animal, over 5,000lb of bite force compared to 800lb bite force from a Great White. Yet you never see a crocodile outright bite something in half or at least fatally crush it. Why is that?

Crocodile teeth are meant to capture and hold prey, not sever. When you pull a victim into brackish or muddy water, you want the whole thing, because a loss of a piece means you might not find it again. So yeah, the bite strength is meant to create severe internal trauma and snap the spinal cord but leave the body intact so that the meat remains fresh and whole but no longer poses a threat.
