Alligators and Crocodiles

No, alligators are not extinct. They are still found in various parts of the world, particularly in freshwater habitats in the southeastern United States, China, and some parts of South America. However, their populations have been threatened by habitat loss and hunting.

Baby crocodiles eat meat. Mostly insects, or shellfish.

Crocodylidae

Alligators' offspring are called hatchlings. They typically hatch from eggs laid by the female alligator in a nest made of vegetation and mud. The mother alligator exhibits maternal care by protecting the hatchlings after they hatch.

Crocodiles belong to the family Crocodylidae, which is a group of large aquatic reptiles known for their powerful jaws, semi-aquatic lifestyle, and sharp teeth. They are ectothermic (cold-blooded) animals and are found in tropical regions around the world. Crocodiles play a vital role in their ecosystems as top predators.

Alligators of reptiles, so one who studies them is called a herpetologist.

They are actually raised on farms, and harvested for not only their meat but their skins as well. They are also a crucial part to the natural environment. Of course, there is a strictly monitored hunting season to maintain their numbers in certain areas, and keep them under control.

I would say no... that is because crocodiles will eat anything they can get ahold of that has flesh and bones... If you had a crocodile, I would stay away from it as much as you can... ^_^
No.

It is not recommended to wrestle an alligator as they are dangerous predators with powerful jaws. If you find yourself in close proximity to an alligator, slowly back away and do not make any sudden movements. It is best to leave handling and interacting with alligators to trained professionals.

The word "alligator" comes from the Spanish word "el lagarto," which means "the lizard."

Crocodiles can be found throughout Africa, Australia, Asia, the Americas, and parts of the Pacific. They are typically found in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, and swamps in tropical and subtropical regions.

Crocodiles can live up to 70-100 years in the wild.

i think by running as fast as you can or running in zigzag manner

scientific studies show that it is hard for a crocodile to run zig zag.

if you get caught, aim for the eyes. Or try to keep it's mouth shut. A crocodile has massive bighting power but the muscle that open it's mouth are weak.

Small caiman are eaten by anacondas, jaguars and bigger caimans. Nothing eats big caimans such as the black caiman.

The American crocodile was listed as endangered in the United States under the Endangered Species Act in 1975. This was due to habitat loss, hunting, and other human activities that threatened their populations. Efforts have been made to help conserve and recover their numbers.

No they are carnivores
No, the only herbs they eat are incidental to the prey animal that may have some wrapped around it .

The average adult northern alligator lizard can grow 11 inches in length. They are carnivores and feed on any prey that they can catch and swallow.

Some reptiles from A to Z are alligator, boa constrictor, chameleon, dragon lizard, gecko, iguana, komodo dragon, monitor lizard, newt, python, rattlesnake, salamander, turtle, uromastyx, viper, water dragon, xantusia, yellow-bellied slider, and zonure.

Spectacled caimans are carnivores and primarily eat fish, birds, small mammals, and insects. They may also consume crustaceans, amphibians, and reptiles as part of their diet.

Statistics show that crocodiles kill roughly 3000 people a year. The problem with this statistic is that when a croc kills there are no remains left so it is a very hard statistic to answer correctly.

Alligators move unseen through the water until they are close enough to lunge up on shore and grab they're prey. They drag in into the water until it drowns. They swallow small prey whole, but for larger prey they have to spin wildly with it in their mouth until bite-size pieces are torn off. That's called the "death roll."

The sex of developing crocodilians is determined by the incubation temperature of the eggs. This means crocodilians do not have genetic sex determination, but instead have a form of environmental sex determination which is based upon the temperature embryos are subjected to early in their development.

Crocodile embryos do not have sex chromosomes, and unlike humans sex is not determined genetically. Sex is determined by temperature, with males produced at around 31.6 °C, and females produced at slightly lower and higher temperatures. The average incubation period is around 80 days, and also is dependent upon temperature.

No, and alligator is not an amphibian!

Answer

No, alligators (and their relatives crocodiles, gharials and caimans) are reptiles.

A female Nile crocodile can typically lay between 25-80 eggs in a nest, but only about 60-70% of these eggs will hatch. This means that on average, a female Nile crocodile can have around 15-40 young.

Crocodiles are wary of hippos because hippos are much larger and stronger than crocodiles, and have powerful jaws that can inflict serious damage. Hippos are also known to be very territorial and aggressive, making them formidable opponents for crocodiles. In addition, hippos have been observed attacking and killing crocodiles that encroach on their territory.
