Where does the salt water crocodile live?

Saltwater crocodiles spend the tropical wet season in freshwater swamps and rivers, moving downstream to estuaries in the dry seasons, and sometimes traveling far out to sea. Crocoldiles compete fiercely with each other for territory, with dominant males occupying the most eligible stretches of freshwater creeks and streams. Because of this fight for territory, crocodiles are very widespread, ranging from the coast of India to norther Australia, as well as odd places such as the Sea of Japan. They can swim 15-18 miles per hour in short bursts, but when cruising, they swim at 2 to 3 miles per hour. ~ Hexedgirl92

What is so special about reptiles?

Alligators have wider snouts than crocodiles; only their upper set of teeth can be seen because their upper jaw is larger than their lower; they tend to be darker in colour; there are two species of Alligator - the American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator (which is smaller than the American Alligator); the average size for an American Alligator is 14.5FT and their average weight is 650 pounds. Alligators have jaws designed to crush bone, and their bite force is 3000PSI (pounds per square inch), making their jaws the most powerful (after the saltwater and nile crocodile, which have a bite force of over 5000PSI). Alligators most distant relative are caimans, who look exactly like alligators but have a bony ridge, and are usually smaller (although the Black Caiman is bigger than the American Alligator, and some species of crocodile). Generally, alligators are not as fierce and aggressive as crocodiles, and alligators can be found in both China and North America :) Hope this helped :)
