There is a HUGE difference between your run of the mill croc or alligator and a salt water crocodile of the variety found Queensland particularly. Those things will come out of the water after you and will not relent, chase you down, haul you into the lagoon or other water body from whence they came, hide you under a log for a month or two so you tenderize just right, and then finally have you for dinner. And not just to one or two people every few years, with regularity. Ask Rockman about that business, you ain't fooling around with salt water crocs!
Meanwhile its 96F or so around here with cool nights into the low 60s and rarely a cloud in sight. Typical mid-summer California weather. By the way, for those who have not been here, about 50 miles west, once you cross over a little range of mountains, its probably a high of 65F today and most days. As Mark Twain once said: the coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco.

I would like to see some confirmation there are salt water crocodiles in Florida or the Caribbean. I have never heard of any. And certainly not the variety that live in Australia and the areas around there. Caymans, yes but thats not at all a crocodile much less a salt water croc that will come out of the water to kill and eat a ton of water buffalo.
But I could be wrong.

Salt Water Crocodiles are a specific species or group of species, not a generic description of where they live or the level of salinity they can tolerate.
Here in the delta there are no alligators nor crocodiles, but the crayfish will get you a good one if it gets hold of your toe.

Wouldn't it be a nice title for the upcoming Stones album?
