Pss, hey, smarty pants, I'm meeting up with my old dinosaur hunting buddy Robert Maroon for another adventure.

Today, we're in the wild, tracking an animal that's been around since the dinosaur.

See if you can guess what it is. It's long and low to the ground with short, stumpy legs.

It's got a huge mouth with a super powerful jaw, filled with sharp, jagged teeth.

And they're equally at home on land and in the water.

Any guesses?

Did you say the alligator?

Or perhaps you said crocodile, mate?

Either way, you're right.

If you remember our episode on Dino Relatives,

we mentioned both alligators and crocodiles

haven't changed much over the past 150 million years.

So the crocodiles roaming around most of the southern United States

look exactly like the crocodiles that the dinosaurs used to see.

Except it's the alligator that's roaming most of the southern US, not the crocodile.

Either way, what we're doing is very dangerous.

Alligators have been known to attack people.

So, if you see one of these green-skinned creatures

slithering or swimming towards you, or even anywhere near you,

it's best to stay away.

Actually, crocodiles are the green ones.

Well, more olive or tan.
