The climates in Florida and California are similar, but in Florida and other southern states, there are crocodiles and alligators. I've always wondered why there are crocodiles and alligators living there, but not in California? Also, do they prefer freshwater? It would be gnarly to have them in the ocean!
In most animals, offspring genders are determined by sex chromosomes at the time of conception. But alligators and other crocodilian species, as well as some turtles and lizards, do not have sex chromosomes. Instead, the sex of the young is determined by the temperature at which the eggs incubate during a critical period of development. Alligators American alligators live in freshwater environments like marshes, wetlands, swamps, ponds and rivers. They range west from Florida to southern Texas and north to parts of the Carolinas. Alligators have broad snouts and are predators of fish, turtles, other reptiles, birds and small mammals.
