An alligator picks up his huge tail and walks on tiptoes, or rather RUNS, up to 30 miles per hour. When the alligator catches food, he cannot chew because his teeth are not sharp enough.

Only the bottom part of the mouth moves as they swallow the food whole. If by chance the alligator loses a tooth, another one will grow in its place.", "Big bite!

The word alligator comes from the Spanish word El Lagarto, meaning 'The Lizard.' Alligators snap their mouths shut with a force of 2,000 pounds per square inch.", "It depends on the mood.

The temperature of the alligator's nest determines the sex of the young. If the eggs are incubated below 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) all are female. Above 34 degrees Celsius (93 F) all are male and temperatures in between produce both sexes.

Compared to other reptiles alligators provide the most parental care. A mother allows her babies to rest on her back or in her mouth and the mother will defend her young up to a year or more.", "Go Gators!

Alligators help the marsh environment by making their homes. The 'gator holes' alligators create are a great value to marshlands. An alligator, using its mouth and claws, uproots the vegetation to clear out a space. With its powerful tail and body it wallows out a depression that stays full with water, holding that water after the rain stops. During the dry season, gator holes provide vital water for fish, insects, birds and many animals.", "Big smile.

There are approximately 80 teeth in the mouth of an alligator at one time. When they wear down, they are replaced with a new set. An alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.", "Ancient Egyptians made contraceptives from crocodile dung.", "Crocodiles can swim backwards.", "Having a relatively large brain (about the size of a cigar) allows the Nile crocodile to learn behavior instead of relying on basic animal instinct.

Crocodiles grip their prey with their powerful jaws and bring their victims underwater to drown them. Having no way to anchor their prey once it is dead, the Nile crocodile must roll the animal over and over until they can twist off a hunk of meat.

In a show of tool use, the crocodile will sometimes wedge his dinner between rocks to hold it down, making it easier to tear off chunks. If the animal's skin is too tough to eat, the crocodile will store it in an underground hollow until it rots enough. Stones in their gizzards help the crocodile grind its food and act as ballast for diving as well.", "There are more people killed in Africa every year by crocodiles than by lions and tigers.", "A crocodile does not chew its food, but swallows it whole.

It carries several pounds of small stones in its stomach to aid in grinding up and digesting its nourishment.", "The crocodile is surprisingly fast on land.

If pursued by a crocodile, a person should run in a zigzag motion, because the crocodile has little or no ability to make sudden changes of direction.", "In Jurassic Park, the roar of the T-Rex came from mixing the noises of a crocodile, a lion, a tiger, and a baby elephant.", "The biggest species of crocodile is the Indo-Pacific, which can get up to 30 ft. long.

The Indo-Pacific crocodile is the longest crocodile in the world. It is also one of the most dangerous. The Indo-Pacific is one of two types of crocodiles that have humans as their one of their prey.

The Indo-Pacific crocodile lives primarily in saltwater while many other species of crocodile live in only in freshwater rivers, ponds, lakes, and swamps. However, they can also be found in freshwater, and where freshwater and saltwater meet in the briny waters.

The Indo-Pacific crocodile can travel thousands of kilometers in a relatively short amount of time to find food or a new territory to make their home.", "The American Crocodile is endangered.

Poachers have led these crocodiles to the point of near-extinction. The American Crocodile is one of the only species of crocodile that has neared extinction.

At present, around 600 American Crocodiles are living in Florida. These crocodiles live along the Upper Keys and southern coastal areas.

American Crocodiles are the victims of their habitat being taken over by people and poachers. American Crocodiles have been known to wander into towns, cities, and even homes. Wildlife groups condone the killing of these reptiles if possible, due to their current survival rates.", "Crocodile fossils have been found that are 220 million years old.

The crocodile is one of the longest living creatures on the planet. Crocodiles have survived well past the dinosaurs, which died 65 millions years ago. They have survived poachers who have tried to sell their skins for clothing or food.

At this time, all 23 crocodile species (not counting the two alligator groups) are surviving and most are thriving. Other, similar species in the same family (Crocodilian) such as the alligator are not as lucky since alligators are close to extinction.", ];
