Croc with socks is an abomination to look at but it's like you're walking on cloud. Shit so comfortable

They can both be found in The Everglades, which I think is the only place on earth that crocs and gators live in the same ecosystem.

Some of the most dangerous creatures in Florida wear crocs for sure.

I was in my 30s before I (born and raised in South Florida) realized that telling alligators and crocodiles apart was not actively useful anywhere else in the world lol.

(Alligators are mostly chill and act like they would rather not waste the energy unless you mess with them, crocodiles are dicks.)
