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.

And one of those wins was against Long Island University, so we only have 2 FCS wins.
How did we beat Texas, I have no idea. But at least it’s nice to know we cost them a playoff spot.
You are correct. I must have heard that before the Ole Miss loss.
One of my fave things with Steve Irwin.
The one bright spot of the season.
The croc immediately got Snap Chat to brag about its victory
I did not know saving crocodiles in Florida is a federal project
Wonder why
His son is on Dancing with the Stars and has a pretty good chance of winning like his sister did years ago.
His jive is pretty good

Someone posted an old clip of Steve getting chomped by a python.

Lol. Caught Texas on a bad day I guess.
Our overpaid quarterback beat their overpaid quarterback.
I didn’t know the Everglades had Crocs
I assume they are an invasive species?
Yeah I don’t know if Lagway can be salvaged after the Mind F Napier did on him.
A Saltwater Croc? If so, people are on the menu.
When we got back to our battery, everybody raced to where we had tossed the croc on the ground. The Battery XO, a tall and pompous lieutenant, said "Wow! you got an alligator".
I said "no Sir - that's a crocodile" and pointed out the long, narrow snout and dark color.
He glared at me and said, "Lance Corporal, if I tell you it's an alligator, it's an alligator"
I took out my canteen, unscrewed the top and poured water on the croc in the shape of a cross and said, "I baptize thee Alligator" then turned to the lieutenant and said "you're right Sir - it's an alligator!
He chased me all around the battery position but I outran him.
50 years later, he called me from out of the blue and I recounted that story and he said, "that doesn't sound like me". His wife in the background said "Oh yes, it does!"
Napier also ruined Richardson.
My choice for coach would be Schottenheimer. Maybe Spurrier can talk him into it.
They need to team up and work on the python population. Since the crocs have stronger bites, I suspect they should have an easier time eating pythons, and consequently, their population could increase.
Typical officer.
My dad had one like that when we were stationed in Italy in the 60s.....had to babysit his dumbass every day because he didn’t know his ass from his elbow.
Even being a preteen, after all these years I still remember my dad’s loathing for that guy.

That my dad was a First Sergeant probably didn’t help. Lol!
There is a python hunting season in Florida....why it doesn’t run year round is beyond my understanding.
Oh there’s all kinds of life threatening hazzards in Florida my friend.
I couldn’t recommend going there......much less living there.
Did you know Florida is the lightning strike state capital of the US?......there are sharks, water moccasins, rattle snakes, sinkholes, rip currents, giant roaches, the state bird is the mosquitoe, of course hurricanes and the tornadoes that hurricanes spawn, and the latest....MALARIA.
Bad JUJU that state. I wouldn’t go there if you paid me. 👎
Kinda like cottonmouth snakes, eh?
