Alligators and Crocodiles

Alligators typically move by crawling on their bellies using their powerful legs to push themselves forward. They are also capable of fast bursts of speed in the water by using their tail to propel them. On land, alligators can move quickly in short distances, but they are not built for sustained running.

a crocs bite is quite a bit stronger (20% I think) to a comparative gator. because of the crocs more narrow snout it has less surface area then an alligator.

This may also be true not only because of surface area but because crocodiles can more easily dish out more energy at any given moment due to the fact that they have a four-chambered heart which operates much more efficiently than an alligator's three-chambered heart. (this is also why alligators seem less agile and less aggressive, they just don't have the ability to function with efficiency when blood flows too quickly through the heart.

Alligators can grow up to an average size of 10-15 feet in length and weigh between 300-1000 pounds, with males typically being larger than females. Their size can vary depending on factors such as age, habitat, and access to food.

Both elephants and crocodiles are important species in their respective ecosystems. Elephants play a key role in maintaining the balance of their habitat by shaping landscapes and dispersing seeds, while crocodiles help regulate prey populations and nutrient cycling in aquatic environments. Ultimately, both are essential for a healthy ecosystem, so it is not about one being better than the other but rather recognizing the unique roles they play.

crocodiles have 4 eyelids. they have 1 pair of normal eyelids like us but they have one that is see through. When they go under water this eyelid covers the eyeball so salt or water can not go into its eye.

thanks!

A crocodile's jaws are stronger in closing than in opening. This is due to the muscles that are responsible for closing the jaws being more powerful than those responsible for opening them. This strength allows crocodiles to have a powerful bite force to capture and crush their prey.

There are crocodiles in Australia. They inhabit the northern waters. The Estuarine Crocodile found in Australia is the largest known crocodile in the world.

Caimans typically weigh upto 1000 pounds ie. 454 kilograms.

they like to eat hard shelled animals like crabs, turtles, and snails. Thier teeth are sharp and blunt built to grab on to prey, crush, and tear apart chunks if prey is too big to swallow whole. they are the hardest tegu to keep. so youmust prepared to have hard work ahead of you if you plan on owning one.

Crocodiles can stay on land for several hours, up to 8-10 hours, depending on factors like temperature and activity level. They rely on water for many essential functions, so they will eventually need to return to the water to regulate their body temperature, hydrate, and hunt.

An alligator's helper is often referred to as a "crocodile" as they are closely related species.

The large lizards with some teeth on the outside of their mouths are Crocodiles, whilst at the same time, the ones with teeth on the inside of their mouths are Alligators.

Yes, female alligators do not abandon their young. They protect and care for their hatchlings for the first few years of their lives. The mother alligator will stay close by to defend them against predators and teach them survival skills.

The average length of an alligator's head is around 2.5 to 3.5 feet in length. The size can vary depending on the age and species of the alligator.

There are four common ways of traversing a crocodile infested river. The first, and therefore the most common, one is to cross the bridge. The second way is to get in a boat and get across that way. The third way is to swing over on a vine or some other lilke material. The fourth way is to swim across, because all the crocodiles are at the convention.

The American alligator's closest extinct relative is the Deinosuchus, a genus of giant alligator-like crocodilian that lived during the late Cretaceous period. It was much larger than modern alligators, with some species reaching lengths of up to 40 feet.

Aliigators are carnivores, and eat fish, and birds, any animal basicly they can catch, even the occasional human.
Fish, especially Catfish. They eat snakes especially Corn snakes, and they eat small mammals like opossums.

Saltwater Crocodiles normally live alone although the babies may live in groups. Some male saltwater crocodiles hunt in groups to bring down very large prey like rhinos, elephants and great white sharks.

4400lbs+ or approximately more than 2000 kilos... it was a wild estuarine crocodile which was more than 28 ft in legth^^ although some claim they saw larger ones...the science committee needs proof

Yes, alligators are considered bilateral organisms because they exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their bodies can be divided into two equal halves along a single plane. This symmetry allows for balanced development of body parts on either side of the plane.

A gavial is a reptile. It is a cousin of a caiman, alligator, and crocodile. It lives in India. It has a long skinny snout. It mainly eats fish and small mammals.

Baby alligators typically eat insects, small fish, and crustaceans. They may also consume small reptiles or amphibians as part of their diet. As they grow, their diet expands to include larger prey such as birds, mammals, and larger fish.
