American Crocodiles primarily
make their home in freshwater coastal areas and
swamps. These reptiles are found at the mouths of
deltas and canals where the freshwater and saltwater
meet.
American Crocodiles have scaley
skin which acts as a protective armor. Although crocodiles are
portrayed as being very aggressive, this is not the case with
the American Crocodile. Australian and Nile crocodiles are a
much more aggressive species.
Although crocodiles and alligators look very
much alike, when a crocodile closes its mouth its fourth tooth
is still visible outside.
