Growing up, they eat insects and small fish. Crocodiles have their own language and like to interact with each other. Mothers take good care of their young and feeding time is usually a coordinated effort. An alligator has a rounded snout. A croc's snout is more pointed.
Crocodiles have a flattened head, with eyes slightly raised on top of the head.
They have short legs with heavy claws. There are 4 raised ridges on the back that merge with two atop the tail. These warm weather lovers can be found in the Florida Bay region in the Everglades National Park, Biscayne Bay, and the Florida Keys. They make their homes in bogs and mangrove swamps. Their range is coastal south Florida and the Key Islands.
