@KARMAisTheUltimateBadass Different species of crocodiles can be found throughout the world in many countries. The Phillipines, East India, Australia, North/South America, Jamaica, Cuba etc are home to crocodiles. There are over 20 species of crocodilians.
Sounds great, but I grew up and still live in Florida. I’ve seen gators climb over a 4 foot fence and into my in laws pool. I’ve also seen them break through the screen in other pools. We used to dive in the pool in the dark without the pool lights on. After that, we didn’t! We’d swim in the canal behind my parent’s house with no problems until a lady across the canal would feed one. Then I stopped. But as an 11 year old, it didn’t stop me in my small boat with a trolling motor from taking off all day!
Every video showing a croc dragging a 200 pound animal to it's death was extremely calm just before it turned into a killer. What are these people talking about.
American crocs are one of the most laid back crocs in the world ... hence why you here about alligator attacks more than croc attacks am.crocs are very shy animals
American crocs are still more aggressive than gators but they are rare and the ones big enough to be a threat are even rarer. Like people said though, that's compared to a gator. Compared to other croc species they are relative shy.
Yes they are… but ya gotta new breed of Z people who think everything is their friend… that will last Untill their kid or wife gets get snatched…and drug underwater…
An easy way to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile is one you will see later, whereas the other you will see in a while. I hope this helps clear things up for everyone.
Then you might as well say it's an Australian Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Porosus) as in the (Salty) because it looks exactly the same as the other croc species of the American Crocodile (Crocodylus Acutus) of United States America, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Some parts of South America & Central America, & the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus Niloticus) of Africa, & the Marsh Crocodile (Crocodylus Palustris) as known in other names like the (Mugger) &/or the Indian Crocodile of India, the Siamese Crocodile (Crocodylus Siamensis) of Thailand, Vietnam, Loas, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar as in Burma, Brunei, & the Philippine Crocodile (Crocodylus Mindorensis) of the Philippines, & the New Guinea Crocodile ((Crocodylus Novaeguineae) of Papua New Guinea, & the West African Crocodile as known in other names like both of Desert Crocodile &/or the Sacred Crocodile (Crocodylus Suchus) altogether because of their shapes of the snouts &/or mouths the V-Shaped Jaw Lines of course. But however, there's another Crocodile species in Australia which is called the Australian Freshwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Johnstoni) as in the (Freshy) but however they are (NOT) Dangerous to People at all just UNLIKE its cousin the Australian Saltwater Crocodile which they are Very Extremely Dangerous to People, Animals & Birds of course.

Crocs have always been native to fla. American croc are smaller and less aggressive than other species however there is concern that released Nile crocs have been breeding with American and this could be a problem.
@@AtomicDog-v2dthey do have the potential to grow up to 20 feet but because their numbers aren’t as large and the competition for food and stuff isn’t as high as the salt water crocodiles they don’t need to be aggressive and grow that large
They can’t inter breed with gators, because they are too distantly related. And there isn’t any evidence that they have been interbreeding with native crocs either
1:59 what an awful message to tell people… This is a docile animal! SMH. How stupid these people are. If they take over Florida, game over. And alligator is no match for a crocodile at all… Burmese pythons versus crocodiles would be interesting.
Before you act like you know stuff, fact check. American crocodiles in particular are pretty placid animals and don’t grow very big compare to Nile crocs and salties. “If they take over florida, game over.” 😂? What do you mean by taking over florida? They are a native species that are endangered. Your the type of person to see a couple Reddit post about crocs being more agressive than alligators then basing your argument on that. Please do research
take over Florida? they are native to Florida, they've always been there... and that is the limit of their range, so probably never going to be like they are in costa rica, everywhere...
Has nothing to do with that at all. American Crocodiles were hunted to near extinction to make southern FL safe for humans so the rich could develop it and we would vacation and live there. In the past few years there numbers have rebounded significantly, and they are simply expanding back into their native territory. We are the trespassers here, not them. With them being protected they will continue to expand and be a much more common site and danger, and people will start to get killed as their numbers continue to grow and they spread further. Until the people force the politicians to remove their protection status and open hunting on them to reduce their numbers enough to keep them in a small section of the keys, things will be getting more interesting in southern FL in the coming years.
This guy is going to get idiot people hurt, thinking these are as docile as Alligators. ALL Crocodiles are more aggressive, and less shy/skittish, than American Alligators. There is a reason they were hunted to near extinction, they are a danger to the residents of south FL, and money wanted to develop it. While the American Crocodile is smaller and less aggressive than Nile Crocodiles for example, it is still extremely dangerous and shows little fear of humans. Nile crocodiles on the other hand are huge merciless predatory monsters! If they establish a breeding population in southern FL they will have to be eradicated by any means necessary as they will be an extreme threat to residents and visitors alike. There is a reason few people in Africa or Australia live near where crocs live in large numbers, it's simply way to dangerous.
You're totally wrong. Florida's crocodiles are not as aggressive as other crocodile species. In fact our alligators are WAY more aggressive than our Crocs. Now you know. Btw I've lived in Florida my entire life.
A croc is a croc JUST LIKE a human being is a human being; when a human wants a dead murdered innocent animal for lunch/dinner/breakfast/an-anytime-snack; they can obtain it; just like humans obtain murdered things that were once concious and alive, a croc will also do just that to potential prey when they are hungry and just so happen to feel like it, just as a human being would do, and does to every day at McDonalds/Walmart/etc. Get the picture? It's not about how harmless they may or may not be. What it's about is nature, and in nature, if you go into THEIR TERRITORY (or with us humans it's even worse; we purposely go hunt deer and mass breed cows to steal their babies milk and turn them all into dead murdered baby and adult cows that can be eaten by us gluttonous human beings), well, swimming out there all ladd-ee-dahh, the croc down in the water with ya may notice ya, and may just so happen to be hangry, and just may come take a bite. I get your point, but you could attach some common sense to it too. When you're in their territory, in the water, you'd a, what do they call it "SITTING DUCK". That's simply a fact of life, and can be observed in us humans even more brutally. When we want murdered dead animals; we get murdered dead animals (human=animal;so this statement relates to crocs too). And INB4 "VEGANLOSER" nahh bruh bruh! I eat DEAD ANIMALS and I admit it. It makes me an animal abuser and a bad person; just like everyone else whom eats murdered dead animals. We are all a part of nature, just like crocs, who will eat a human too if they feel like it and the human is out, helplessly floating in their territory, in salt or fresh water ;)@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824
I've seen too many idiots feeding wild gators. What happens is they lose their natural fear and start associating humans with a handout and will even approach them and that could end badly. Your hand will taste just as good as what you are feeding them. They can also be very territorial, particularly the bigger ones. Females crocs and alligators will aggressively protect their nest and young as well. These animals went nearly extinct because of humans. Over development is causing their habitat to shrink. If suberbia is going to encroach on their habitats in lakes, ponds, canals, ect,, then the FWC should hold lectures on how to coexist with these animals. I'm even against these "alligator wrestling" shows at scattered facilities around Broward and Dade.
American crocodiles are less aggressive then the nile crocodiles and the Salties!!!! The only worry some people may have in Florida is if the nile crocodiles can increase in numbers down there if so anything is on the menu including humans!!!!! So keeping them out of there should be a top priority because as they increase in numbers the alligators will begin to disappear more because there easy pickings for a far more aggressive n bigger nile crocodile!!!! Theres definitely nile crocodiles in Florida as much as some may not think so!!!!!
Crocks are way more aggressive say what you will but you are going to get someone hurt by telling people they are shy bullshit they are a apex predator and people should know that and they are a ambush predator they seem shy until they got your ass And nothing can be done
I once read an article about the American Crocodiles of Florida making a Comeback in April 2012. Back then it said in the Article there were 1500 of them, now I see they’ve double to 2000. Who knows? They might increase to 4000 & perhaps spread out on new territory in Florida. Especially swim up creaks & canals to Central Florida. Again, who knows? Time will tell since the Crocodiles of Florida are making comeback.
Either will. They both are animals who hunt for food. Use brain and be careful near edge of water and if going in the water. That’s the proper warning, not to worry about one and not the other
You're completely wrong. The crocodiles in Florida are actually LESS aggressive than alligators. And you're dumb if you think alligators don't hunt and kill people.
@@kiddadd no they are not invasive they are native to Florida what your referring to are Nile crocodiles which are also being found in the Everglades now those are invasive but there are and has always been Native American crocodiles in Florida

@@tl7538 actually, American crocodiles in particular are more docile than American alligators. Nile crocodiles, salties, and Cuban crocodiles are a different story altogether.
Crocodiles can launch themselves out of the water. The actively hunt YOU if there big enough. An alligator is a puppy compared to a crocodile glad there if they are suppose to but enjoy that kayak launch
Keep smoking yer hopeium brah brah! I embrace what you call "ignorant". Because it's beyonD NOT ignorant to point out facts, like Crocs live in Florida. And it's actually ignorant of the people saying such things like "no crocs in FL", not of me for laughing at their stupidity XD@@321gates
They are indeed shy, but they are still predators. Swimming in any body of water in florida is very VERY dangerous, unless its a spring or something that’s garanteed with no alligators or crocs. Even then there can be amoeba in the water which is also dangerous.
@@cindypolk756 of course, alligator attacks are very rare, and they are fairly docile and scared of humans, but this is not always the case. Especially in bodies of water where bigger alligators lurk.

American crocodiles are less aggressive then the nile crocodiles and the Salties!!!! The only worry some people may have in Florida is if the nile crocodiles can increase in numbers down there if so anything is on the menu including humans!!!!! So keeping them out of there should be a top priority because as they increase in numbers the alligators will begin to disappear more because there easy pickings for a far more aggressive n bigger nile crocodile!!!! Theres definitely nile crocodiles in Florida as much as some may not think so!!!!!
Crocks are way more aggressive say what you will but you are going to get someone hurt by telling people they are shy bullshit they are a apex predator and people should know that and they are a ambush predator they seem shy until they got your ass And nothing can be done
Wait that guy is 47 !!!!! He looks 67
Safety harbor sighting, December 2023. Surfaced under the dock in the marina. We turned the corner and it was gone.
Good the population is thriving!
I once read an article about the American Crocodiles of Florida making a Comeback in April 2012. Back then it said in the Article there were 1500 of them, now I see they’ve double to 2000. Who knows? They might increase to 4000 & perhaps spread out on new territory in Florida. Especially swim up creaks & canals to Central Florida. Again, who knows? Time will tell since the Crocodiles of Florida are making comeback.
Crocs will attack and hunt you gators won’t
Either will. They both are animals who hunt for food. Use brain and be careful near edge of water and if going in the water. That’s the proper warning, not to worry about one and not the other
You're completely wrong. The crocodiles in Florida are actually LESS aggressive than alligators. And you're dumb if you think alligators don't hunt and kill people.
American crocs are extremely shy for crocs ... thats why you never here of croc attacks in florida only gators
@@SlackTideWanderer1810 Exactly. The real ones know
Calm and docile until they are not. Stayed next to the boat 20-30 minutes. I would not call that “shy”.
There's a 15ft croc near the northern end of Indian River near Turnbull Creek. It's NOT a Florida Crocodile, its very aggressive!!!
Aren't crocs invasive species?
This is what I'm trying to find out because I remember a few years ago florida was complaining about one of these animals being invasive.
@@kiddadd no they are not invasive they are native to Florida what your referring to are Nile crocodiles which are also being found in the Everglades now those are invasive but there are and has always been Native American crocodiles in Florida
"AMERICAN" crocidile
Notice , they are headed our way .. tons of other beings … move back and see they need help … something is happening and this is our sign .. welcome them , not eat them -me
They aren’t “moving back” they have always been here for millions of years 😂
nice sentence structure
Will they get big? 20 feet?!
0:30 SHE GETS EATEN‼️‼️‼️🙆🏻♂️😬🤦🏻♂️‼️
If you’re talking about a crocodile near the edge, that is not an alligator… Meaning, crocodiles, make alligators, seem like a poodle! Why the hell would you get that close? If there is supposedly one in that particular water… Even alligator could snag her, she’s not the brightest bulb on the tree, huh? Wow.
Probably seeing more of a croc population because nest raiders are getting eaten by Burmese pythons.
Good point
To clarify ALLIGATORS ARE OVERPOPULATED IN FLORIDA. Crocodiles are the ones that barely exist there.
Alligators are not over populated, genius. Do research before you spread misinformation
To many alligators and sea turtles. Not enough Crocs or manatees.
So which is more dangerous, a crocodile or a crackodile?
I like how he clarifies Florida world …that place is barely similar to the rest of the US
Crocodiles are very docile that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever ever heard
American crocodiles are docile. But they are still dangerous.
@@Bobby.546 sounds crazy crocodile come on, bro lol
@@Bobby.546 less aggressive than the other crocodiles, but crocodiles are fucking aggressive
@@tl7538 actually, American crocodiles in particular are more docile than American alligators. Nile crocodiles, salties, and Cuban crocodiles are a different story altogether.
@@tl7538 American crocodiles are usually less agressive than American alligators. Nile crocs, salties, and Cuban crocs are the most agressive crocs.
How do they know it's not a gator
Something bigger or tougher is pushing them out.
Trying to convince me that crocodiles are a good thing isnt working.
What Are If It's A Nile Crocodile 🐊That Got Loose?
They don't eat as good as a gator😅
Ya but how about the Nile croc issue
@ampvsell…
What you don’t know can make a whole new world…
Your welcome.
Check your history there have always been American crocodiles from Georgia coast all the way down central America to Brazil!
I like the American croc because they are no so aggressive
0:44 he said 47 years hopefully his age isn’t 47 if he is then he has aged awfully
Yeah those certainly ain’t saltwater crocs or nile crocs thats for sure..you wouldn’t want them around
Wait til’ the 20ft salty show up. He’ll show you shy and docile.
Come here in africa and see 28 ft crocodiles and tell me they are friendly …
The small one looks like a nile crocodile.
Oh it's so cute look at that cutty then 10 years later ahhhhhhhhhh oh lord help ahhhhhhhhh its got me!!!
In Latin America, these crocodiles are known to attack humans...
they bigger over there tho
@@sillysmeagma422 Didn't know that...
Somebody better call Troy
Crocodiles can launch themselves out of the water. The actively hunt YOU if there big enough. An alligator is a puppy compared to a crocodile glad there if they are suppose to but enjoy that kayak launch
“There ain’t be no crocodiles in Fl only gators!” Lmfao people actually think this 😂
Quit trolling.
'derpitus says "Quit trolling." O.o ? @@321gates
@@s.t.5590I hope that's what you were doing because your statement was beyong ignorant.
Keep smoking yer hopeium brah brah! I embrace what you call "ignorant". Because it's beyonD NOT ignorant to point out facts, like Crocs live in Florida.
And it's actually ignorant of the people saying such things like "no crocs in FL", not of me for laughing at their stupidity XD@@321gates
@@s.t.5590 Get help.
Crocodile on the shore!"
Everyone should just go swim with them. They're shy.
They are indeed shy, but they are still predators. Swimming in any body of water in florida is very VERY dangerous, unless its a spring or something that’s garanteed with no alligators or crocs. Even then there can be amoeba in the water which is also dangerous.
@@Bobby.546 lmao. I've swam in the black water. My whole life. Not one time did a alligator even attempt to swim near me. So you are partially right.
@@cindypolk756 of course, alligator attacks are very rare, and they are fairly docile and scared of humans, but this is not always the case. Especially in bodies of water where bigger alligators lurk.
@@Bobby.546 you be scared if you want. I do not care even a little. However I'm not and will continue as I always have and your opinion will remain yours not mine.
@@cindypolk756 do you have a reading deficiency or are you just an idiot? Practicing safety precautions is not being scared. You can continue to swim in the water, I’m not stopping you. What I’m saying is that its a literally fact that its not always the case that alligators will be docile, they are still predators. Continue to swim in the water
they sure are cute aint they!?
This is Lies someone are bringing these crocodiles 🐊 from Africa…this don’t sound right
It's an American croc. They are native to FL.
Salty's are breeding in Florida now.
there are no salty's in Florida, just American crocodiles.
people just be bullshitting🫵🤣
We need these for the Haitian migrants.
Said the white man,woman. Salt Water Crocs,...are not shoe's.
Thought the reporter was going to fall in the water lol
While their cousins here in the pacific doing their best eating people along the rivers and ocean
Not good at all ! Really
Spaaaaaaace Cooaaaassssst
We are all doomed
It’s just creepy and why I would love to move❤
It is rare just keep your ass On land
Well, with huge boa constrictor snakes, fire ants, alligators, killer bees and Ron DeSantis, I'll have to add Crocodiles to my list of why I won't ever move to Florida!
Excellent. Marxist groomers are not wanted here.
🥾☠️🐊
These sightings are good? 😂. Not for your pets or children.
American crocodiles DONT kill them.FL does have Nile crocs that have escaped from reptile parks due to hurricanes.Those have a shoot on site order.Please know the difference.
