Is the Lacoste animal an alligator or a crocodile?

A crocodile. The shirts were designed by tennis player Rene Lacoste, whose nickname was "The Crocodile"

Yes.\nI initially was going to talk about the Komodos from Indonesia, and also about crocodiles and alligators, but the best most interesting answer is here:\n\nhttp://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/redmond/23/dragon.html\n\nI do not copy the material as to not plagerize their material, but well worth checking out on this concept.

Alligators aren't in oceans.

Many people want to know what the difference is between alligators and crocodiles. There are many differences, most of which are not easy to see. One of the differences that you can see is the shape of the head. Alligators have a broader, more rounded snout while crocodiles have a narrower, more pointed snout. If you look at the side of a crocodile's mouth, you'll notice the fourth tooth on the bottom jaw sticks outside of the top jaw and into a groove. The upper and lower teeth of a crocodile stick outside the jaws while the bottom teeth of the alligator fit into sockets in the upper jaw.\n\nAlligators outnumber crocodiles 1,000 to 1 in the wild in North America. The American crocodile is considered endangered, with a wild population of less than 500. The American alligator population is estimated at about 1.5 million.

Crocodiles are carnovours. They have evloved to function best on a meat diet. That is not to say that plants will kill them. But given the choice they will always choose meat.

According to the Creation Story from the Onondaga Tribe its a turtle.\nSee in\nhttp://webpages.charter.net/peweller/pdfs/turtle_creation.pdf#search='turtle%20holding%20the%20earth'

Researching crocodiles and alligators for a previous question I discovered American Alligators have been known to take down bears. The great white shark being larger and more powerful than an alligator should have no problem killing a bear. Of course great whites don't go that far north, but it's a hypothetical question.

Check the old maps. Florida was underwater, There was a huge lake where Utah is today. The whale ancestors, alligators, cockroaches.

I think that alligators can live about 75 years; maybe a little longer.  My dad lives in southern Louisiana and he took me on a tour of an alligator farm about 6 or 7 years ago. allowing for some long-term (or is it short-term----see I already forgot) memory loss, I believe the man said around 75 yrs.

There very well could be. I found this article to be really fascinating. Here's an excerpt\n\nAlligators and crocodiles, like humans, have a natural defence system against invading bacteria, viruses and fungi, which involves a group of proteins called the complement system.\n\nWhen Dr Merchant exposed the alligator blood to pathogens such as HIV, West Nile Virus and E Coli, it started to kill them.\n\n"It turns out that this complement system is much more effective than ours. \n\n"But there is really no clinical utility because I can't isolate them from alligators and inject them into your veins because your body would recognise that it was not human."\n\nInstead, he hopes to be able find something in the crocodile and alligator blood that can be mimicked in a drug, and has begun to look at white blood cells - the cells that flock to fight invading pathogens.\n\nWhite blood cells make and release tiny proteins to fight the infection and Dr Merchant believes that, if he can isolate these from the animals, it might point a way to making new antibiotics and antiviral drugs for humans.

Dinosaurs were members of the SuperOrder Dinosauria. No member of Dinosauria are alive anymore.\n\nReptiles, like Komodo dragons or crocodilians are not and never were dinos- a seperate branch of the evolutionary tree.\n\nThere are kinds of fish (coelocanth, shark, etc.), plants (ferns, fungi), reptiles (crocs), insects, and other groups that are very similar to their prehistoric counterparts- but none of these were dinos either.

We can't really prove it. All their insides were decayed, so the only evidence of them being reptiles is their bone structure. But for all we know, they could have been fuzzy, warm blooded, dinosaurs. There is no way to determine either way scientifically, because we can't see a live one.

Saltwater crocodiles generally spend the tropical wet season in freshwater swamps and rivers, moving downstream to estuaries in the dry season, and sometimes travelling far out to sea. Crocodiles compete fiercely with each other for territory, with dominant males in particular occupying the most eligible stretches of freshwater creeks and streams. Junior crocodiles are thus forced into the more marginal river systems and sometimes into the ocean. This explains the large distribution of the animal (ranging from the east coast of India to northern Australia) as well as it being found in odd places on occasion (such as the Sea of Japan, for instance). Saltwater crocodile speed in the water can be 12 to 15 miles per hour in short bursts, but when cruising can only go 9 to 10 miles.

It must be just a hippopotamus as evidenced by the fact that there are no uncool oppotamuses (oppotami?). One could argue that perhaps there is no such thing as an uncool oppotamus, but then there would be no need to make the distinction (i.e. all oppotami would be hippoppotami.)\n\nCool question, which I have given way too much thought to. LOL

Thye lived a long time ago, and the closest living relative to the dinosaurs is the crocodile.  Crocodiles have remained unchanged for 1000's of years.

Its a kind of prehistoric turtle.
