    1. Thank you Donna for your kind comment! The Crocodile has a look of something left over from another time. They were very different looking than the Alligator.

  2. That is one scary looking creature, I sure wouldn't want to meet him face to face. Great colors love the contrast.

    1. Hi Tammy. Thank you again for your interest and nice comment(s). The Crocodile is a fascinating creature. While their body styles are very different from the Alligator, its their teeth that really had my attention. Although you are unable to see from my photo, the Crocodile's teeth are almost 100% seen while the Alligators teeth tend to stay covered (when their mouth is shut).

  3. This is a great photo. I'm not sure I would have had the courage to take it.

    1. Thanks George. In truth, the result seems scarier than the actual encounter.

    1. Hi Karen. The Crocodiles do seem a bit more intimidating than alligators. Either way, I give both a lot of room.
