Alligators and Crocodiles

The cheap crappy ones in souvenir shops are preserved by soaking fully submerged in formaldehyde for approx 6 months, then marbles are placed in the eye sockets and allowed to dry. All meat is still present and can rot as well as draw bugs.

The slightly better ones are freeze dried in a $20,000 machine.

All meat is still present and can rot as well as draw bugs.

The best ones are done by a competent taxidermist. They are fully fleshed of all meat, and fat, and brains including the inside of the jaw bones and upper pallet, then tanned. After tanning the tongue and throat are rebuilt using casts of real ones.

Not any way to do one at home, I am afraid.

No, saltwater crocodiles are not extinct. They are considered a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List, with stable populations in parts of their range in Australia and Southeast Asia. However, they are still threatened by habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.

Like all alligators, they are carnivorous; they feed on crustaceans, fish, turtles, wading birds, some mammals, and more aquatic life. American Alligators will eat anything they can put between their jaws.they also eat children and small adults.

Crocodiles are able to float like logs due to their low-density bodies and thick, buoyant skin. They have a large lung capacity that helps them stay afloat, and their limbs are positioned on their sides to reduce water resistance, allowing them to glide effortlessly through the water.

alligator apple is another name for alligator pear... or in California, known as Avocado..... dark green, bumpy, pear shaped... apples and pears both fruits, and sometimes pears are used in pie with apples, so the misnomer of the misnomer itself is , er, avocado.

The American alligator plays a crucial role in its ecosystem as a top predator, helping to regulate populations of prey species like fish and turtles. By creating and maintaining wetland habitats through their burrowing activities, alligators also benefit a diverse array of other species, from birds to insects. Their presence can have cascading effects on the entire ecosystem, influencing factors like nutrient cycling and species diversity.

The cost of a crocodile can vary widely depending on the species, size, and where it is being purchased from. In general, they can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Additionally, it is important to note that keeping a crocodile as a pet is illegal in many places and requires specialized care and permits.

Alligators and crocodiles all live in the water. They are large animals, and the water helps support their weight. Also, they are predators. Both animals hide under the water and leap out to catch their prey.

Crocodiles typically ambush their prey by lying in wait underwater, then lunging out to grab their victim with their powerful jaws and sharp teeth. They can also use a side-to-side snapping motion to tear off chunks of flesh. Crocodiles are known for their quick and unpredictable attacks, making them dangerous predators in their natural habitat.

Alligators protect themselves through their strong jaws and sharp teeth which they use to defend against predators or threats. They also have thick, armored skin that acts as a barrier against attacks. Additionally, alligators are excellent swimmers and can quickly retreat to water to escape danger.

they lie in wait at the rivers edge until something comes for a drink and then they explode on it grabbing it dragging it in the water and the animal eventually dies by drowning then the animal is torn to chunks by death rolling and it is eaten

Generally, the hyena has the greater teeth strength. the crocodile certainly has the greater jaw strength, with a measurement, by Dr. Brady Barr, of 2500 and 5000 lbs, for Nile crocs. However, the teeth of the hyena are unusually robust, unlike those of the croc, which are replaceable, and may come out, relatively easily. The hyena has one set of teeth for life, so they need to be pretty strong.

Im not sure EXACTLY how small it is...but since a snake needs to dislocate its jaw in order to eat and it looks like its head is squished up...I would say their brains are EXTREMELY small, which explains why you cannot teach snakes any tricks. But some snakes have learned when their feeding times are, snakes are fun to have but not very intelligent XD

Alligators can typically survive out of water for a few hours to potentially a day, depending on environmental conditions. They have special adaptations, like their ability to close their valves to prevent water loss, that allow them to tolerate being out of water for extended periods. However, to thrive and stay healthy, they need to return to water regularly.

No, at least not anymore. Historically they used to live as far North as Canada, but human hunting of them pushed them to near extinction, and are now only found in the South-Eastern States.

Crocodiles do estivate. It is a very interesting biological state in which the crocodile enters everything is slowed from respiration to circulatory functions. at average a crocodile heart beats approximately 40 times per minute when a crocodile is estivating, its heart rate slows down to about 5 beats per minute and can remain in this "standby" state for a year or more, depending on the conditions.

American crocodiles can be found in southern Florida, especially in the Everglades National Park, as well as in areas of Central and South America. They prefer coastal habitats such as mangrove swamps, estuaries, and lagoons.

A crocodile is a reptile.

Yes, crocodiles are known to eat small mammals like squirrels if they come near the water's edge. Crocodiles are opportunistic feeders and will prey on animals that venture too close to the water where they can ambush them.

Alligators can vary in size depending on their age, with hatchlings typically ranging from 6 to 8 inches long. Adult American alligators can reach lengths of up to 15 feet, while Chinese alligators are generally smaller, reaching lengths of around 5 to 7 feet.

Alligators typically lay between 20 to 60 eggs in a clutch, but not all will hatch successfully. The number of baby alligators that survive to adulthood can vary depending on factors like predation and habitat conditions.

The answer is 3 In each equation the numerical position in the alphabet of the first letter of each word is used. Thus alligator + bird is 1 + 2, or 3 (the "a" in alligator is the 1st letter of the alphabet and "b" in bird is the 2nd).

In a confrontation between a Komodo dragon and a saltwater crocodile, the crocodile would likely have the advantage due to its larger size, more powerful jaws, and aquatic abilities. The crocodile's thick, armored skin would provide better protection against the dragon's bite, making it the more formidable predator in this scenario.

It is not recommended to have a baby alligator as a class pet due to their aggressive nature, specialized care requirements, and potential danger. Alligators can grow rapidly and become a safety concern as they reach adulthood. It is important to prioritize the well-being and safety of both the students and the animal in a classroom setting.

An alligator is a large reptile that belongs to the crocodilian family. They have a broad snout, rounded bodies, and live in freshwater environments like swamps and marshes. Alligators are known for their powerful jaws and ability to swim stealthily.
