  Hey this is at the Naples FL zoo

  Also, alligator not crocodile, and the pond does in fact contain that big old boy.

    Interesting fact, there are saltwater crocodiles in southern Florida, and the keys. It’s, I believe, the only place in the world that has crocodiles, alligators, and Amazon cayman.

      I live on a sailboat in Key Biscayne and there is a salt water croc that lives about 500 yards from me in some mangroves. It’s not as large (bulk) or as long and has a narrower body than an alligator, and just LOVES to eat iguanas.

      Like the iguanas, pythons, anacondas, etc etc the caimans arrived with the exotic pet trade. You could purchase a <1 foot caiman in the early 80s in Florida for under $60. Then once those mean aggressive bastards got 3-5 feet people just dumped them in the woods/swamps.

      Between the American alligator, saltwater croc or caiman, Ill face the caiman last. Those fuckers are mean AF, territorial and did I mention mean?

      Salties in southern Florida? Pretty sure you are mistaken. I think the only croc in the US is the American Crocodile.
