Damn this is a good point. I've never been anywhere where they'd be an issue.
I've always heard they're quite slow on land though, is that true? If so, yeah I'm pretty sure it won't like getting stomped really hard from behind.
I'm also not sure if I'm counting it if the animal is very long. The technical formula is total volume of animal > height to my knee, so I'd only try to kick a baby to juvenile croc. I don't think my kicks would do much good to like a 300lb crocodile as long as I am tall.
They can go pretty fast over short distances.
But yeah, you could probably take a baby, assuming momma isn't around.
