Florida is the only place in the world where both alligators and crocodiles live together. The best way to identify a crocodile is by its narrow snout that comes to a point, sharp protruding teeth from the lower jaw, and light grey coloring. Unlike their African cousins, these crocs are very shy and try to avoid people.
