It was sunny today. (This is written correctly, but not quite relevant to what follows.) In class, I studied an expository text that was all about crocodilians. Who knew there was such a difference between crocodiles and alligators? For one thing, crocodiles can grow to be 20 feet long whereas alligators are approximately 12 feet long on average. Additionally, crocodiles lay their eggs in holes they dig in the ground, while alligators lay their eggs on a bed of leaves and then cover them with a mound made of grasses and mud. Moreover - here is something wild - the warmth of the nest helps determine the gender of the newborns. This means they can choose the gender of their hatchlings! It’s a shame that these big lizards are mostly endangered today. We should protect them by all means.
