American Crocodile 
. These guys are, though sharing the same waters, very different from Gators - not only optically. They are very aggressive and will go after you, if you’re in a promising spot. But they are also endangered - about 2000-3000 left in Florida.

OK, so now y0u’re scaring me again…when out in the wild there’s no guarantee that you won’t run into the likes of this guy vs the “mild mannered” alligator. I know I can tell from the shape of their snoot, but by then I’ll be at risk!
Great shot by the way. Reflection is sublime…and I love how still the water is inside his mouth.

The reflection in the water makes this guy appear as a triple threat! A wonderful picture!

The water looks like glass - nice shot! (Can’t say I personally like the subject - but have to give kudos to the photo itself.)

Hey Klaus, this is wonderful, but I haven’t seen anything here that isn’t. My husband and I are thinking about taking a trip to Florida this winter to stay with some friends that own some land down there… I sure hope I will get to see some of these if we come… thank Klaus.

Guess if I ever visit those parts I’ll need to learn the difference if this one would attack. AWESOME photo. The reflection is spectacular!
