    What causes nearly every alligator attack on humans? Study says it's our fault

    I am 80% sure that is a crocodile and I am irrationally upset about this.

    The other 4% are caused by alligators insulted by being called crocodiles

    What a woke croc. It identifies as a gator.

    Need a sad emoji. I remember that travesty. 8-5, the crocodile picture was bad too.

    In all seriousness though - is the photo used by Fox News a crocodile? Or am I mistaken?

    It looks like Fox News has been using this stock photo for years. Can anyone confirm if this is an alligator or crocodile?

    I did think it was kinda funny that some folks started calling us the cardiac crocs during the ncaa tournament.

    Which begs the question: can an Alligator beat a Croc? Which is more ferocious ?

    Crocodile. But home field would matter. Gator has a fighting chance in, say, the Superdome. Faster on turf.

    A saltwater or a Nile crocodile would absolutely destroy an alligator. The alligator can probably beat a Caiman and a gharial.

    Most alligators are now spoiled brats lazing in pools and “fighting” dudes with noose-poles. Crocs are STREET!

    This picture has got me all sorts of messed up

    For my eyes, it looks like the jaw is narrower and longer than most alligators, but also the jaw is shorter and broader than most crocodiles

    As if the photo was intentionally ambiguous

    If it helps you relax, it seems like a croc to me too.

    Trust Fox News to provide some alternate crocs.
