What better way to finish a summer trip to the Everglades NP of Florida? So when our bags got packed, we left our Glory Carnival to revisit some world-famous Everglade Alligators. Please remember that alligators do eat humans, but only in self-defense. 1. They're hungry. Very, very hungry. 2. You're threatening them. 3. They're immensely pissed off at you. The third one doesn't happen often since alligators tolerate many pokes, slaps, and punches. Do not test that theory on wild alligators; their personalities could differ. There is one giant question floating around. What's the difference between alligators and crocodiles? It is Simple. First of all, alligators have larger tongues and round snouts, while crocs have smaller and sharper ones. Secondly, alligators only live in freshwater, whereas crocodiles inhabit both freshwater and saltwater habitats. Lastly, alligators don't consider human beings food, whereas crocodiles are known to eat people. Alligators are amazing lizards/reptiles/cold-blooded animals. They are not the monsters you think they are, although you should be careful around them. Now that I know the truth, I'll be back to see them again. 【红霞译】
有什么比采用重访佛罗里达“花”州大沼泽地国家公园的方式来结束盛夏之旅更为圆满？我们打好行囊轻装上阵，告别“嘉年华·光荣”号游轮之后，即刻踏上通往世界所谓著名湿地──鳄鱼栖息地的征途。
务必记住湿地鳄鱼吃人，其原因不外乎： 第一，它们饿得要死，饥不择食； 第二，你没事找事威胁到它们生死存亡； 第三，它们看你不顺眼。 第三种情况并不多见，因为湿地鳄鱼气量宽宏，经常打不还手骂不还口，顶多朝你横眉冷对翻个白眼。千万不要跟野生鳄鱼较真显摆你的本事，它们个性迥异，脾气各有不同。 对我们而言，天大的困惑莫过于湿地鳄鱼跟普通鳄鱼有什么根本区别？答案很简单。首先，湿地鳄鱼舌头大鼻子圆，而普通鳄鱼舌头小鼻子尖；其次，湿地鳄鱼仅生活在淡水环境里，而普通鳄鱼则足迹遍布江河湖海；末了，湿地鳄鱼尚未把人类列入日常食谱之内，但普通鳄鱼却来者不拒。 湿地鳄鱼纯属那种了不起的蜥蜴／爬行动物／冷血动物，绝不是通常你所认为的魔怪，尽管如此对它们依旧不可掉以轻心。既然对湿地鳄鱼有了初步认识，来日方长，咱们必定后会有期。  Everglads Holiday Park (大沼泽地假日公园 02-02-2009)
