X.              Read the following passage and choose the best answers.

Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals called crocodilians. They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same animal. There are several differences that can be used to tell them apart.

American alligators are much more common than American crocodiles. Because they hate the cold, alligators live in the southeastern part of the country usually in freshwater lakes and swamps. Their skin is dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow. They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish, birds, and, occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for their skins. Now there are strict controls on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas. There are also strict controls on the hunting of deer and other animals.

American crocodiles are a bit different. They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the tropical climate of southern Florida. Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas. They are very shy, so people do not often see them in the wild. Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads are longer and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator. They eat only fish and other water animals. Crocodiles are listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by US law.
