The American Crocodile is a large reptile found primarily in coastal areas of the Caribbean and along the southern coasts of the United States, particularly in Florida. They can grow up to 13 feet long and are recognized by their long, narrow snouts and olive-brown coloration. These crocodiles prefer brackish waters, such as estuaries and mangrove swamps. American Crocodiles are carnivorous and primarily feed on fish, birds, and small mammals. They are known for their ability to tolerate saltwater, which distinguishes them from other crocodile species. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats, as they are considered a threatened species in the U.S.
