crocodiles only depend on meat?

Crocs are carnivores and eat whatever they can catch in the water or along the banks. That includes fish, turtles, frogs, birds, pigs, deer, buffalo, and monkeys, depending on the size of the croc. Gharials and false gharials are specialists, though—with their slender snouts, all they can catch are fish. Crocs don't chew their food. They either tear off large pieces and swallow them or swallow the prey whole if it's small enough. That means that the croc has to juggle the food around until it's in the right position, then toss its head back so the food falls down its throat. Some croc species can eat up to half their body weight in one meal. At the San Diego Zoo, the gharials get trout and giant goldfish

Crocidilians are strictly carnivorous. They rely on the supply of meat in order to survive. So yes, it is true.
