SUY July 2014: Alligators and Crocodiles

I have the pleasure to start the July 2014 SUY: Alligators and Crocodiles.

Alligators and crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Although they appear to be similar looking, crocodiles and  alligators  belong to separate biological families.  The most obvious external differences are visible in the head with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligator.

Sorry not as clear as I would like them to be!

Wonderful topic    

And great photos, - the misty look fits perfectly to the watery element of crocs   

I don't have many at all.

I'm not sure what brand this one is, I think it's "STS brand"

Great!      

I'll try post mine tomorrow as my camera is charging xD
But Seanie, what is the brand of your croc and antilope?    it's so beautiful!  

Very nice figurines here     

Stardust,

the brand of the croc and the antelope is Kaiyodo #12. When I saw it online I thought it was a lot bigger!

  This one has a really nice smile on his face. I like him!

Nice figurines so far. I have the two Schleich crocos and one alligator. 

I never realized that the CollectA Alligator was so small.

Simone, I think NandO's picture is deceptive in that respect. The collectA alligator is smaller than the Mojo Crocodile, but not nearly as small as it appears in the photo above. It's a trick of perspective in that shot.

It is a gorgeous repaint! Before I read this, I wondered looking at the picture why it looks so good. Very cool!

Pictures can be deceiving, I know.
The CollectA alligator being in the background of the picture probably makes it look a lot smaller than it actually is.
Thanks for clearing that up Scott.

Well, the PVs have already been shown, but they are so cute they probably can be shown twice...

Nayab in the middle, New Ray in front and in the back my favourite: a totally unbranded, not even made in China but so wonderful False Gharial - maybe someone knows the Brand?

Chap Mei in the back, K&M in the middle, front Colorata (from endangered reptiles box):
