Pity that crocodiles don’t live in america………………
American Crocodile
Better. At least crocs got another use aside from being a belt or a shoe. 🙂
Pity that wart hogs and NILE crocs aren’t here in America…
Where would you find such a combo? Australia?
we have salt water croc’s down hear in south florida and i think we are in the u.s.
That’s an alligator not a croc! We live in North Port, travel that the same road all the time and see lots of wildlife, including wild hogs and alligators. Sure glad we haven’t come across this big guy in our travels – he’d win in a battle vs. car any day.
That is an estuary crocodile. Not an alligator (too big for an alligator and it has distinguishing body features for the crocodile). Looks like a male that possibly had a mating fight with another male judging by the tail.
Ugh…people really don’t know anything. First & foremost…saltwater crocodiles DO NOT live in Florida…the American crocodile DOES live in extreme southern Florida in a few spots (namely Flamingo within the Everglades and the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Canals near Homestead.) Contrary to popular belief the saltwater crocodile (which lives in northern Australia & the Indo-Pacific areas, along with some of Asia) is NOT the only crocodilian that swims in the ocean. In fact, ALL crocodiles are saltwater-tolerant and the American crocodile is the second most common crocodile seen in the ocean (hence its distribution throughout Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Costa Rica, etc.) Lastly, this picture here IS of a saltwater crocodile…and it was taken in northern Australia near Darwin. That is a feral big which are common throughout northern Australia.
We have Crocodiles in the Everglades region, but the total number runs around 2000 and have a very limited range, chances of seeing one too far north in Florida are nil. American Crocs are not as cold tolerant as Alligators, which number about 1.5 to 2 million here in Florida. We have wild hogs in Florida as well. They are a bloody nusiance, but fun to hunt.
Like Katherine said, that`s a gator and not a croc… We have gators and wild pigs everywhere down here, this is a common site. But like always, you internet experts sitting behind your computer screen somewhere up north no all about gators and wild hogs! We use to have a sign in this same area that said, yankee go home! LMAO…….
This is clearly an American Alligator with a hog in its jaws. I live in this area, and while I have not seen an alligator carrying a hog, I would not be surprised if I did, I have seen both frequently in this area.
Being a floridan doesn’t give you a monopoly or expertise on large reptiles. It’s an african crocodile with a warthog. The original, bigger photo is from here:

Even in the small pics you can see the coloration is all wrong for a gator, the pig is the wrong shape for a feral hog, etc.

Actually we do have American crocs, along with american alligators, and wild hogs in the state of FL. Here is the Florida Wildlife commissions pages on each

Check your facts before you say they don’t exist…
That is a gator not a croc and us 41 and I-75 do not intersect in North Port.
Originally saw this picture on the front page of the Venice Gondolier stating it was taken on River Rd. I happen to work along that stretch and have seen some pretty large gators. The pigs are over populated; seen about 20 along the road just the other day.
I could only hope that the outrage and information so adamantly stressed on this site could have been channeled into education. None of you can spell! You must know a lot about the Florida wildlife because you write like high school dropouts.
Gotta love chat pages!!!!
I hate to burst your bubble but that shot was taken in near Coen on the Cape York Peninsular in Northern Australia. The pig has advanced tusks indicating it would be at least 80 kgs (180 pounds) on its own. Therefore the croc would be in excess of 5 mtrs in length. It is also near the back end of its life. You can clearly see there are no front teeth any more. A trait of very old crocs.
