later

         Googling information about alligators and crocodiles, I learned that besides living mostly in water, they both can come out of the water and travel around, on land.

They "motorate" two ways:  they can crawl, and also stand up on four legs and walk, or run.

I guess I thought about it because I remembered a guy at my work, several years ago, told me he was leaving and moving back to Florida, where he was from.

Some time later, he showed up at work again, I asked him about returning to the Midwest from Florida, and he said he was working there in landscaping, and one day he turned around, and there was one of these things, walking on land, coming toward him.

        I can't remember, now, if he said it was an alligator or a crocodile - it was one of the two.

        He said that's when he decided to move back here and work with us, again.

Reading up, I learned that as a rule, anyplace you find alligators, there will be no crocodiles, & anyplace where there are crocodiles, there won't be any alligators.

With one exception.

Florida.

Florida has both.

Reading Viewer Comments, some Floridians wrote in and said a lot of people who live there think there are no crocodiles or alligators except in zoos or animal parks, where they are imported, but it isn't so - both alligators and crocodiles live in the wild, in Florida.

        A video on You Tube shows an alligator climbing over a fence - after a strenuous struggle, he gets over, lands on pavement face-first, gets up and walks away. ...

        Another video, probably filmed with a phone, showed a crocodile and alligator sort of - fighting - circling one another, and taking menacing stances... one Comment said, "They are quarreling about whether it's later, or after a while.
