Gators: Have "U" shaped snouts...Teeth isnt visible when jaws are closed...Found ONLY in southeastern America and eastern China...Afraid of humans but lose fear when they see humans regularly...Live in freshwater habitats(can sometimes be seen in brackish water).

Crocs: Have "V" shaped snouts...Teeth is visible when jaws are closed...Found virtually all over the world...Are bad-tempered and can attack adult humans even without provocation...Live in freshwater and saltwater habitats...

If you still decide to be ignorant after these cogent explanations,sorry is your case.

my post is very well confirmed sir..you can make your own research and report back here.

the boarder line between a croc and an alligator is very slim..so my guess is that what you see in ur benin market is a monitor lizard wich most nigerians mistake for an alligator..pls ooh that long slim one that looks like a glorified lizard is no alligator..an alligator is as big as a crocodile and looks like it in many features.

as for the fifth pix, the head of a little komodo and a big monitor lizard looks alike when compared. thats a specie of monitor lizard and not komodo..

komodos are found nowere near nigeria.



Mehn you're so wrong


Don't believe everything you read


Who told you alligators aren't found in Africa

In your defense you are saying its monitor lizard

You must really take us for fools that can't differentiate alligators from monitor lizards


When ever you're in Benin city give me a call and I'd show you an alligator

Bro if you could take your time to visit Google and do some research on this

. Also take that same time to visit Edo State to experience it with your eyes


If you expect anyone to leave the schedule and visit a market and start taking pictures for you

Mehn you sitting on a long thing










Note: you could also believe the white man theory as you already do, it's also allowed

For those still arguing that alligators are also found in Africa, but are too primitive to use google, here are some proves for you.

We all left you to your unyielding ignorance.
Keep hunting for more members of the Lizard/Crocodilia family and do naming ceremonies for all of them.

You can even do Asoebi. It is all up to you.

Don't mind the mumu op who was challenging me to go ti our market by 10 pm and bring him a picture of crocodile. They take everything oyibo write about Africa as the truth. The crocodile trives in the subtropical part of the USA but won't be available in Nigeria because oyibo said so.

You need to understand what "native to" means. It's a point of origin. Palm trees are native to Africa but you have them in Beverly hills for over 50 years now.
That it's native to USA, Mexico and China doesn't mean you can't find them in other countries.

As an animal scientist with good understanding of phenotypes, I can tell you for sure that there are Alligators in the country, just go to fresh water communities in the country and you'll find em.

A visit to some Zoos in the country can further enlighten you on it, then try to find out where they were sourced from, you'll be amazed it's from within, not imported
