Quick, like a crocodile? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snappy

I believe this is a double definition.

'quick' is the first definition.
(snappy means very fast)

'like a crocodile?' is the second definition.
(a crocodile snaps with its jaws)

(Other definitions for snappy that I've seen before include "Quick and energetic" , "Short and sweet" , "(Make it) quick" , "bad tempered" , "Irritable - quick - fashionable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
