The American Crocodile is alive and doing pretty well in the southern Everglades. When I lived in south Florida in the 70's, I searched the park for these critters and never saw one. Now, I can pretty much find one every time I look. They have made a great comeback, partly thanks to the Turkey Point nuclear power plant, whose warm cooling water effluent keeps the crocs toasty. I was in an inflatable kayak when I took these photos, testament to my confidence in our crocs being non-aggressive.
