VERO BEACH, Fla. — VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Say the word crocodile and many people think of Australia, the Amazon or even those National Geographic specials showing huge reptiles ambushing wildebeests crossing rivers.With increasing numbers of crocodiles in areas where people live, Florida is experiencing a growing number of complaints about nuisance crocodiles.Crocodiles have been reported as far north as Hillsborough and Pinellas counties on Florida’s west coast to Brevard County on the east coast.While mostly found along the coasts in brackish and saltwater habitats, including ponds and creeks lined with mangroves, Florida’s canal system can tempt them to move farther inland, and they have been seen in freshwater habitats, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife.Here are some of the major differences between an American crocodile and the more numerous American alligator:--CrocodilesGrayish green colorFourth tooth on lower jaw exposed when mouth is closedNarrow tapered snoutYoung are light with dark stripes--AlligatorsBlack in colorOnly upper teeth exposed when mouth is closedBroad rounded snoutYoung are dark with yellow stripesWhat do crocodiles eat?"
