An American crocodile swims in its enclosure at Mississippi Aquarium, June 24, 2021, in Gulfport, Mississippi. American crocodiles are semi-aquatic reptiles that can be found from South Florida and the coasts of Mexico to as far south as Peru and Venezuela. Though they look similar to alligators, they come from different biological families and have a number of identifying differences, from their longer heads and narrow, V-shaped snouts to their teeth, which are visible even when their mouths are closed. Crocodiles can replace each of their 80 teeth up to 50 times in their 35- to 75-year lifespan. Mississippi Aquarium opened in August 2020 and features 80,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibits on a 5.8-acre campus. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
