You can post it all you want - it will still be incorrect.

I have personally seen crocodiles successfully hunt in clear water. They
DO NOT need turgid water. Sorry.

Crocs are rare (though not entirely absent) from the Red Sea today, but
they are ubiquitous in Plio-Pleistocene deposits in the region, including
the Arabian peninsula. Their rarity in the Red Sea appears to be a
recent phenomenon.
