Alligator

Here is a spotting that shows you what the narrower snout of the American crocodile looks like http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/212... Very different from your alligator's wide snout :-)

Hello Larnise. That's a big alligator! In Florida there are only two "crocodilians" (alligators, crocodiles, etc). The American crocodile however only occurs normally in extreme southern Florida (far away from where you spotted this. See this map http://crocodilian.com/cnhc/cst_cacu_dh_... but what really tells me this is an alligator is the very wide snout. BTW, in the future we'd like to ask you to put questions or comments in the description or notes but not in the names fields. You should only put relevant names there. :-) Keep up the good work with your spottings!

it would be very unlikely to see a crocodile that far north in florida they tend to hang out down by the keys however recently there was one captured in boynton beach. I'm pretty sure it was a record for the most north in the past 20 years or something like that.
