Crocodilians (which include all croc like animals) are not quite cold blooded. Their hearts keep oxygenated and carbonated blood mostly separate, affording them the lower metabolism of cold blooded animals and the speed of warm blooded ones.
Their carbonated blood also takes a your through the stomach before going to the lungs. You see, the higher the carbonation, the lower the pH, and having that source of H+ ions next to their tummy is paramount for them to manufacture their highly acidic gastric juice.

Oh, not that kind of carbonation, lol
In fact it is the same, in a way. It’s CO2 diluted in water. It ionizes the water forming carbonic acid.
So you’re saying that if you shake a crocodile, they explode like a bottle of soda?
No more than you or me. The amount of co2 diluted in our blood is nowhere near the over saturation levels in a soda bottle.
