World Croc Day
Every year on June 17th, World Croc Day highlights the plight of endangered crocodiles. In addition, the day encourages people to learn more about these amazing reptiles.
Crocodiles are often confused with alligators, and are quickly confused with alligators. However, there are some similarities between the two programs, as well as some minor differences between the two versions. The main difference between their snouts is the shape of their snout. The crocodile's snout has a long, pointed V-lie shape, which gives the appearance of a long, pointed V-lie style. On the other hand, the snouts of Alligators' snouts are more rounded and u-shaped. In addition, crocodiles are usually much larger than alligators. 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 dangerous.
Crocodiles can be found in virtually every corner of the world. Both the North and South American continents are home to these reptiles. They are also found in Africa, Australia, and Asia, but the Florida Everglades is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators live together.
