I coccodrilli e gli alligatori si assomigliano. Hanno entrambi fauci enormi con denti aguzzi e una lunga coda. Il loro corpo è coperto di squame irregolari. Gli alligatori hanno il muso largo, arrotondato e a forma di U.
Di solito sono di colore scuro. Il muso è la parte sporgente della testa di un animale, comprendente naso e bocca. I coccodrilli hanno il muso più sottile. Inoltre sono di colore più chiaro rispetto agli alligatori. Alligatori e coccodrilli sono diversi, ma sono entrambi rettili. Il corpo di un rettile può avere le squame o le placche ossee. Serpenti e lucertole sono rettili con le squame. Gli alligatore e i coccodrilli, invece, hanno le placche ossee, chiamate “scuti“. Sia le squame, che gli scudi proteggono il corpo del rettile. 
Alligatori e coccodrilli appartengono all’ordine dei Crocodylia e sono detti anche “LORICATI“. 
Ne esistono 25 specie diverse. Di solito vivono nelle zone calde di tutto il mondo. I loricati non si allontanano mai dall’acqua. Trascorrono molto tempo immersi in pozze, laghi, paludi, acquitrini, fiumi e pantani. Tutti i loricati hanno sensi molto sviluppati. Vista, olfatto e udito sono migliori rispetto a quelli di altri rettili. Al buio vedono meglio di noi. Anche la loro pelle è molto particolare: riescono a percepire i movimenti degli animali, così nell’acqua fangosa  individuano facilmente la preda.

We were only in Namibia for a very short time, but it was still brilliant! We crossed the border from Angola and went along the Caprivi strip, making our way to Botswana. We had a few animal encounters, and a bit of a problem at the border...

Le poisson congelé
Un jour, raconte le poisson tout rond, il faisait si froid que le dessus de l'étang était gelé. Mon copain Firmin était coincé dans la glace, gelé lui aussi.
Je lui faisais des petits signes, il ne pouvait plus remuer une nageoire!
Quelle catastrophe ! Je suis parti chercher tous mes copains et nous avons tapé, tapé dans la glace jusqu’à la briser, Firmin a été délivré. C’était gagné!

Have you ever heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

It means you should follow the customs of the place you're visiting or the people you're with. So in Japan, for example, you should take off your shoes before entering someone's home, because it's the custom.

However, people often shorten this phrase to just, "When in Rome."

Phrases like this, where part of the sentence is not spoken but the meaning is still clear, are called "anapodotons" ("an-uh-PAW-duh-tuns"). People don't say the second part of the phrase, but everyone knows what they mean.

But why do people leave phrases unfinished?

According to Instagram linguist Adam Aleksic, it's because we like to save time and effort when talking. By saying less, we can still share the full idea, as long as others know the rest of the phrase.

Anapodotons are very common in English. Let's look at some more now!

"Speak of the devil" is something people say when someone appears just as you were talking about them. The full phrase is, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." But it doesn't mean you think the person who appeared is a bad person!

"It takes a village" is another example. The full phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child," means raising children is easier with help from others. It can also be used to talk about teamwork or group tasks.

"If you can't stand the heat" comes from, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." This means if something is difficult or stressful, you should either deal with it or stop complaining and leave!

Anapodotons may be short, but they have a lot of meaning!
