World Croc Day
Every year on June 17th, World Croc Day highlights the plight of endangered crocodiles. In addition, the day is encouraging people to learn more about these amazing reptiles.
Crocodiles are quickly confused with alligators. Alligators are also confused with Crocodiles. However, there are some similarities between the two programs, as well as some minor differences between them. The primary difference is the shape of their snout. Snout's snout shape is a long, pointed V-lie style, which is reminiscent of the crocodile's snout. On the other hand, the Alligators' snouts, on the other hand, are more rounded and u-shaped. In addition, crocodiles are often larger than alligators. About 500 pounds, the average alligator weighs about 500 pounds. Crocodiles can weigh up to 2,200 pounds! This reptile is also more aggressive than alligators, making them more deadly.
Crocodiles can be found in virtually every corner of the world.. Both the North and South American continents are native to these reptiles. Both crocodiles and alligators are found in Africa, Australia, and Asia, but the Florida Everglades is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators live together.
