@Fleura Both alligators and crocodiles live in Florida, and they coexist in the wild in South Florida. The crocodile has a V-shaped snout, the alligator an U-shaped snout.

I think those must have been alligators.

I really wouldn't like to live in that area. They scare me. I didn't know about the different shaped snouts.

@JudyEv Yes, and I hate one parking beside me, or worse yet one on each side. You have to back out very far to clear them.

Even our cities and suburbs are full of these huge vehicles. And some of our parking areas don't cater very well for these larger vehicles.

@wolfgirl569 Fair enough. I've never seen the Harry Potter movies or Star Wars for much the same reason.

I've seen the movie. I always picture Australia as being hot and dry. I guess the central part is?

The central part is hot and dry but around the edges it's not at all. Most of south-west Western Australia when I live the climate is more like that of California.

Why is it not A crocodile and an Ute Like A crocodile and an umbrella Strange isn't it that I would think of that

I think because the 'U' in umbrella is pronounced differently from the 'U' in utility. Of course that raises a whole different question. But if umbrella was pronounced 'youbrella' then it probably wouldn't be preceded by 'an' if you see what I mean.

I reckoned I worked it out because it's a hard 'u' in 'ute' but a soft 'u' in umbrella - which is pretty much what Fleur says.

In a way like the most poisonous snakes are found in Australia but they may not threaten city dwellers at least. I loved Crocodile Dundee and Paul Hogan became a favorite actor after that.

Yes, that's right. Many Australians have never seen a snake but people from other countries think we have dozens of them.

In India too these cars are used by some farmers and to carry goods.. In Odisha they breed crocodiles in a place called Bhitarkanika.

Do you know what they do with the crocodiles? Do they use them for handbags, shoes, etc?

Some movies are made with exaggerated packs of info. Those who are not in the know would tend to believe them.

That's very true. People tend to believe things sometimes without checking if they are true or not.

I loved the Crocodile Dundee movies! And yes, I realized a lot of the stuff in the movies wasn't real... I kept looking everything up online to see what was real and what was BS just for the sake of the film.
