Think crocodiles are only for Australia? Think again, because you can find them alive and well in the Florida Keys.

Brad and Cathy talk about where in the keys you can find crocodiles and alligators, and also talk about why Florida crocodiles aren't as energetic as their Australian cousins. And caimans? They're here, too — but they're not the same animal, and they're considered invasive.
