Of course, Yang Nianzhong and John are the bosses, the two of them are brothers who don't have to row, and the two of them sit together, Yang Nianzhong took off his mosquito hat, lit a cigar, and chatted with John while smoking a cigar.

Before he could say a few words, the crocodile hunter in front turned around and made a shushing gesture, and then pointed to a black alligator hidden in the aquatic grass in front of him, which would only make everyone slowly row the boat to the side of the alligator and pointed to Yang Nianzhong and John beside him.

"Gentlemen, we're in luck, as soon as we entered the swamp, we saw alligators, and it seems that you are not far from catching a crocodile."

Yang Nianzhong saw the alligator hidden in the water, which was less than a meter in size, and it was obviously a little guy who looked helplessly at the excited John on the side and asked puzzled.

"John, you've lived in Florida for so long, are you excited to see an alligator? This alligator is too small, if it can reach more than two meters, we can complete the task of catching crocodiles. ”

John couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Yang Jianzhong say this, turned his head to look at Yang Nianzhong and said with big eyes. "Boss, you're usually very smart, why are you confused at this time? This is an alligator, not an American crocodile, we are catching an American crocodile. ”

Yang Nianzhong looked at John stupidly, glared at him, and responded. "Aren't they all the same? In my eyes, they are all crocodiles, and they are all raw materials that can make a good table. ”

When John saw Yang Nianzhong answer like this, he sat on the side and patted his forehead helplessly, and looked at the crocodile hunter and guide who were smiling and laughing.

"It seems that I have to popularize it to Mr. Yang Nianzhong, what is a crocodile, what is a crocodile, everyone continues to row Since we have encountered a crocodile, it is to prove that our luck is good, it seems that we can complete the task of killing the crocodile this morning."

The guide and the crocodile hunter agreed, and then hurriedly rowed the boat, and only then did John turn his head to look at the unknown, so Yang Nian whispered.

"Boss, can you please not embarrass me? Who told the American crocodile and the alligator that they are actually a living thing, and we fish for the crocodile instead of the alligator. ”

"Is there a difference between the two?"

John shook his head with a smile and said. "The big difference between the boss and the big one, the American alligator is the little crocodile we just saw, the number of protected is very rare, and his mouth is short."

"The crocodile mouth of the American crocodile is long, its number is more than the number of alligators, and the body size is larger, find an adult American crocodile with a body size of more than two meters to catch it, and then it can be transferred to the dishes, so that the elderly can enjoy a meal of American crocodiles."

Yang Nianzhong has always thought that alligators and American crocodiles are actually the same species, both called crocodiles, with scales, fangs and large mouths, in fact, they are two creatures, and the alligator catching license sold by the Everglades Park is the American crocodile that was caught, not the American alligator.

The difference in size between the two crocodiles is very different, but both crocodiles are protected because of a small number, and a large number can be used to commercially catch some American crocodiles every year to protect alligators.

After John's careful explanation, Yang Nianzhong understood what was going on and what he was wrong, but Yang Nianzhong's mistake was excusable, he was not a crocodile expert after all, and he couldn't figure out the difference between alligators and American crocodiles.

Now that it's clear, let's continue to look for it, and soon the boat turned into a fork in the road, and at this time, the guide sitting in front suddenly made a silent gesture, and the look of surprise made Yang Nianzhong feel uplifted, and it seemed that he had found the American crocodile.

Sure enough, the boat turned around a bend with dense aquatic weeds and saw a small hill above the water in front of it, and there were two big trees on the hillside, and an American crocodile was lying between the two big trees to bask in the sun.

Whether it is an American crocodile or an alligator, in fact, it is a cold-blooded animal is a kind of reptile, they can't regulate the temperature in their body and need the sun to help, which is also the difference between cold-blooded animals and mammals, which has disadvantages but also benefits.

Instead of digesting their own food and burning fat in their bodies to regulate their body temperature, cold-blooded animals use the energy of the sun to regulate their body temperature, replenishing their precious food to their body's functional needs and transformations, and storing fat in their tails.

What's the good of this, that is, cold-blooded animals can stay strong for a long time without eating, you have to let the crocodile eat enough, and he won't have to eat again for three months, but mammals can't, and they will be hungry if they don't eat one day.

That's because mammals digest food to feed their bodies and burn calories, and a large part of their food is used to provide body heat to maintain body temperature. So you have to eat a lot or you'll starve, and if you don't have energy in your stomach, you'll freeze to death if you warm up.

That's the difference between a cold-blooded animal and a mammal, and this American crocodile can be large enough to weigh more than 3.5 meters from its tail to its head. This is a big guy that can be caught completely, but the larger the American crocodile, the more powerful and dangerous it is, and the difficulty of catching it skyrockets.

Now the island with long trees is no more than 15 meters away from the boat in a straight line, and the crocodile between the two trees is no more than 20 meters away in a straight line. The naked eye can see the appearance of this crocodile, the good guy is covered in armor, sharp teeth, and the big mouth can be stuffed into an 8-year-old child.

Especially the circle of sharp teeth leaking out of the mouth is really scary, the crocodile is the overlord of nature left from the age of dinosaurs, and it is the top predator of nature, but no matter how advanced he is, he is not as advanced as humans, and crocodiles in many places are about to be wiped out by humans.

The crocodile has its eyes closed when it is basking in the sun, as if it is sleeping, but when it feels hot, it will open its mouth and use its own mouth valve to dissipate heat, or crawl into the water to dissipate heat.

The crocodile was lying between two trees with its eyes and mouth closed, apparently to replenish its sun, and its body had not yet warmed up, so it moved clumsily, and looked like sleeping.

This is the time for crocodile hunters to wait for the catch, and if you warm it up, these crocodiles move very quickly, and the crocodiles will resist very fiercely and very difficult to catch. Crocodiles that do not charge the solar energy in their bodies will be very clumsy, and their movements will be very slow and easier to catch.

So the guide and the crocodile hunter slowly rowed the boat and docked on the small slope surrounded by the swamp, and then began to organize the equipment, and what they caught the crocodile was actually a simple lasso and a long metal pole.

As for some gadgets, there was only plastic tape left in addition to the towel, and the tools were as simple as that, and then the crocodile hunter and the guide slowly surrounded the American crocodile basking in the sun between the two trees in a zigzag direction.

It was more than two meters away before the crocodile opened its eyes, then stood up vigilantly from the small dirt slope, opened its mouth wide and hissed similar to the sound of us humans yawning, which was used to warn the two people to approach it.
