Which is most dangerous-a crocodile or an aligator?  Are they related species?

They are both from the same taxonomic order, 2 different families.  They are very closely related... The family Crocodyloidea consists of about a dozen or so crocodile species... The family Alligatoroidea consists of caiman (from South America, don't remember how many species... 4 or 5???) and the only 2 true Alligator species.  the American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator.  And yes, the two do co-exist.  Alligators are almost strictly freshwater animals, while crocodiles have salt glands that enable them to inhabit fresh, brackish, and salt water.\n\nAs far as how dangerous they are... Either one has the capacity to kill you, but some crocodile species get much larger, and alligators are usually considered pretty placid animals that just want to be left alone.\n\nHere's an AWESOME resource, I love it to death.\nhttp://www.crocodilian.com

An Aussie one like Steve Irwin because they're fearless, smart and tuned into nature and surviving off the elements but if an aussie wasnt available i'd take one of the wild boyz (Steve O or Pontius) because if we died at least i'd die laughing

Not too many. Surprisingly, experts do not consider human poachers to be a serious threat to night monkeys (or owl monkeys, as they are sometimes called). The same goes for nocturnal predators such as owls, big cats or snakes.  The reason for this is that the monkeys take preventive actions - they tend to change their sleeping locations regurlarly, and they use an elaborate set of "spoken words" either to warn each other or to startle a potential attacker.\nSome say that the great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is a typical predator for those monkeys.

The shark! If it decides to kill you, eat will do it quickly and swallow you whereas a croc usually drags you underwater and puts you under a log or something so that you will drown and then he will eat you! Rather get killed straight away than get half eaten and then left to drown!

Yes. The only way any ones favorite animal could be a croc., is if that person is a crocoholic!

Probably a komodo dragon or crocodile. Most people don't know what a komodo dragon is so I have included a link with some pictures.

In open area-nowhere to retreat....the lion...once the croc takes a snap at the lions paw it would be curtains for the croc.The lions overall strength & speed would overwhelm my short legged,belly crawling friend...

six Classes,\n1 being the weakest 6 being expert.\n\n Class five is the most dangerous that can still be ran by a commercial raft.

Speedos could be a deadly weapon to either of them!\nI'd maybe go for Meatloaf, he's 'tasty' enough I suppose.

The deadliest and most venomous snake is without a doubt the Rhinocerous Viper of Africa. Man, that thing is SOOO colorful! Looks nice, but it is DANGEROUS. Watch out for it next time you visit Africa! \n\nGold is impossible to decompose, by the way.

Monito del Monte (Dromiciops gliroides) is pretty cool.  It's a mouse-sized marsupial predator that has the best name ever, and it may be more closely related to the Australasian marsupials than the other South American marsupials.\n\nBut I think my favouritest must be the Yapok (Chironectes minimus).  It is the only truly aquatic marsupial in the world (something about carrying your young in a pouch makes swimming difficult, or at least more dangerous for your young'uns).

I heard in Russia if they have a riot on the pitch they used to let crocodiles loose on the pitch to get fans off the pitch.\n\nDon't know if they still do that, but that sound a bit scary lol

A crocodile. The shirts were designed by tennis player Rene Lacoste, whose nickname was "The Crocodile"

My favorite least-favorite frightening critter would be Dranunculus, a worm that lives in the Nile.  it bores itself into through the skin and grows inside blood vessels.  It can reach dramatic lengths in the meter range.  Diagnostic approach:  you check blood vessels in eye lid for worms wiggling around in it.  In antiquity, people would make a cut in the vein and pull the worm free and roll it upon a stick.  Might be the origin of the Esculap.\n\nThere are other parasites that scare me.  Not the big critters.  i used to work on sharks, and I would take one of them guys over a worm any day of the week...
