The incident caused severe ankle lacerations, a fear of reptiles and a ridiculous footwear trend.
Yellow shirt boy: Look! Mikey's got crocs on his feet!
Might be funnier, and it would certainly be more accurate, if Mikey were fishing with “gators” on his legs. The aquatic reptiles in the United States are alligators not crocodiles.
I "spoonerized’ this when I first read it, and thought of Steve Irwin: “Look! Crikey! s’got mocs on his feet” Don’t suppose they have water moccasins in Australia, do they?
Parallel j aw line and rounded nose: those are definitely alligators. Croc and caiman taper to a pointed nose, and garelles’ noses are more of a knob. But they have a four-chambered heart like mammals, dinosaurs, and birds, unlike other reptiles with a single ventricle handling both oxygenated and unoxygenated blood at the same time.

If they were up to his knees, they’d be gator gaiters.

@packratjohnDoesn’t help. Caimans are still alligators. But maybe it’s set in Australia.

There are crocodiles in South Florida. One got as far north as Tampa a while back.
