Native and Nonnative Crocodilians of Florida<br />

Florida has two native species of crocodilians, the American alligator and the American<br />

crocodile. These federally protected species are easily confused with nonnative crocodilians<br />

found in south Florida, such as the spectacled caiman and the Nile crocodile. Some key<br />

features used to distinguish these animals are the shape of the head, the shape of the snout,<br />

and the pattern of nuchal scutes (bony plates in between head and shoulders). It is important<br />

to report all nonnative crocodilians so that researchers may quickly remove them in order to<br />

protect Florida’s native ecosystems. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw380<br />
