La Coste or Crocs?

Camera Critters

My La Coste.
“Only when you have crossed the river can you say the crocodile has a lump on his snout”
~Ashanti Proverb quotes

This was taken more than a year ago and so I can not recall if this is a “La Coste” (the alligator logo of a French high-end apparel company) or a “Crocs” (an American company manufacturing plastic clogs). Anyway, my research led me to know that this is actually a crocodile. See that bottom teeth overlapping onto it’s top lip? Well, that’s one of the differences between a crocodile and an alligator. Further, Crocodiles have a very long, narrow, V-shaped snouts, while the alligators’ snouts are wider and U-shaped.
