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.

Kinda like cottonmouth snakes, eh?
Turn the phone sideways, moron!
I got to wondering how many sports teams are named after crocodiles. Not many, it turns out:
Snakes overall do poorly too, with the exception of the Arizona Diamondbacks: A good name, IMO, as rattlesnakes avoid the association with “sneaky”, and baseball is, after all, played largely on a “diamond”. It does open up possibilities for a few interesting insults, though...
Nope. They are native. However, they are limited primarily to the extreme southern end of Florida.
THe glades, land of Chief Osceola and the gators are running scared
I can’t decide whether crocs and gators are all face—or barely have faces at all...
Yeah no one talks about Naps and how he screwed up AR. Good point.
Well you guys are stuck with Norvell for another year.
Turkey point nuclear power plant has a full biologist to keep an eye on the crocodiles on the property.
They has spread as far north as key Biscayne and over to ft, Myers. They are plentiful in everglades national park and the ten thousand islands.
The site I googled said crocodiles were endangered and protected 1500 crocodiles in Fla vs 1.5 million aligators
No
American croc only found in extreme south Florida
I believe there are more than 1400.
? ? My post said 1500. Apparently crocs are endangered and protected in Fla. Alligators are own their own/
Gators are probably in the millions and Crocs probably number in the tens thousands. They probably have 1500 at turkey point alone.
Doing a research it says cross are 1500 and gators 1
5 million
Not counting UF lol
Look up turkey point nuclear power station. They have a full time biologist to care for and keep track of them.
this is what I got when I ai’d it
“here are an estimated over 2,000 American crocodiles in the total South Florida population, a significant portion of which lives within and around the Turkey Point nuclear power station’s cooling canal system. The plant’s canals are home to one of the most concentrated nesting areas in the U.S..
I would expect fsu is a few notches below uf this year. I think we lose by three scores plus
