EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla.– A crocodile decided to show an alligator who is boss in the Florida Everglades on Monday as people watched in suspense.
Video showed a crocodile walking up to an opening of some water in Everglades National Park.
As the camera angle changed, it showed the crocodile wasn't just aiming to take a dip, but was actually boisterously approaching an alligator hanging out in the water.
The two reptiles began hissing at each other as the crocodile entered the water and got closer to the gator.
As the crocodile entered the alligator's personal space, the gator thrashed its tail in the water, frightening onlookers, before disappearing under the water and out of view.
The crocodile lingered for a second before slowly swimming through the waters, presumably to find the alligator again.

The Crocodile 🐊 didn’t say
“See you later Alligator”?
The Alligator didn’t say
“Afterwhile Crocodile 🐊”?
See You Later vs After a While.
Excellent work
They fired the coach and got worse...................
Interesting.
This is a good time to review my method for determining if there is an alligator in an inland body of water in Florida.
You walk up to the water’s edge, bend down, and splash the water a little with your hand.
If the water is wet, there’s an alligator in there somewhere.
Brings back memories. Over half a century ago I helped catch and tag alligators in the Florida Everglades. In more recent years I had some very closeup views of a crocodile in the Florida Keys. (The crocodile seemed more interested in me and less scared of me than did the alligators.)
UF FSU game ought be interesting....the winner actually goes to a bowl game.
Probably the Toilet Bowl. 😏
Guess Crocodiles and alligators don’t cross breed it would make allodiles and crocigators shareing the same area?.
The gator was late for hoops practice.
Go Gator!
I predict the final score will be 2-0, in 7 Overtime Periods.
Unfortunately no. UF has no possibility of making it to a bowl game. 6 wins on the year is the requirement.
Somebody has to win that game one way or another.............
RIP Steve. RIP Gator Football.
At this point, they should just flip a coin and call it good. 👍
