Do you know there are crocodiles in the south of Florida? That’s amazing, right?
你知道佛罗里达州南部有鳄鱼吗?太不可思议了,对吧?
Really? But I remember that there were no crocodiles in this area, which I once learned in my science class! How could it be!
真的吗?但我记得,这个地区没有鳄鱼,这是我在科学课上学过的!这怎么可能呢!
You know, things have changed.
你知道,事情已经变了。
I’ve just read it from a science journal about crocodiles.
我刚从一本关于鳄鱼的科学杂志上读到的。
It says the American crocodiles would be seen all over Florida if they are less susceptible to cold than American alligators.
上面说,如果美洲鳄比美洲短吻鳄更不容易受寒冷影响,那么它们将在佛罗里达州随处可见。
Do you mean they are afraid of cold? But they live in water.
你是说它们怕冷吗?但它们生活在水里。
To some extent, it’s a true scientific fact.
在某种程度上,这是一个真实的科学事实。
You know, I’ve been wondering about the saltwater crocodiles since our last science class.
自从上次科学课后,我就一直在想咸水鳄的事。
Talk to me. I’m kind of expert about crocodiles.
跟我说说。我是鳄鱼方面的专家。
OK...Is there a leader of something, like a crocodile king among them?
好的……它们当中是否有领袖,比如鳄鱼王?
Interesting. Saltwater crocodiles live in loosely organized social groups.
有意思。咸水鳄生活在组织松散的社会群体中。
And they are also territorial with the best territory being held by the strongest male.
它们也有自己的领地,最强壮的雄性鳄鱼拥有最好的领地。
However, territory is usually kept through posture and vocalizations and not violence.
然而,领地通常是通过姿势和发声来保持的,而不是暴力。
But, in my opinion, there is no such thing like the king of crocodiles.
但是,在我看来,没有诸如鳄鱼王之类的东西。
I see. But they did live in a group, so how many of them there are in a group?
我明白了。但它们确实是群居的,那么一群中有多少只鳄鱼呢?
Usually about 10 or more, but less than 30.
通常大约有10只或更多,但少于30只。
Wow, I definitely will pass out if I see a group of them.
哇,如果我看到一群鳄鱼,我肯定会晕倒的。
