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!
Description: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) inhabit the southeastern United States. Once a federally listed endangered species, American alligators have recovered and are common in many areas of the Southeast.The species is still federally listed as threatened because it looks like the American crocodile, which is endangered.Alligators are long-lived animals whose life spans can exceed 60 years. Alligators and crocodiles are related. 2  However, alligators have rounded snouts, while most crocodile species have longer, pointed snouts. 3  Also, crocodiles occur only in tropical and subtropical areas (only south Florida in the United States), while alligators live in somewhat colder climates.
