Crocodiles!
Here you will find lots of useful information
about crocodiles!

Crocodile Tidbits:
The American crocodile lives in both freshwater (rivers and lakes) and coastal habitats (lagoons and swamps).  These crocodiles like to build long burrows for protection against bad conditions outdoors.  They tend to travel over land in search of new habitats.  These crocs eat mostly fish and other aquatic animals, including turtles and crabs.  They also like to capture and eat birds, and tend to do most of thier feeding at night. 

How is a croc different from a gator?
An alligator's lower teeth fit into pits in the upper jaw, so you usually cannot see them when the animal's mouth is closed. Some of a crocodile's lower teeth are visible. Also, alligators have a broad snout, while crocodiles have a more narrow snout.
