Gomphothere or Gomphotheriidae are any members of the diverse, extinct taxonomic family Gomphotheriidae. Gomphotheres were superficially elephant-like proboscideans.
They were widespread in North America during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, 12 to 1.6 million years ago. Gomphotheriidae lived in parts of Eurasia, Beringia, and following the Great American Interchange, South America.
Beginning about 5 million years ago, they were gradually replaced by modern elephants, apart from the last two South American genera, of which Gomphotheres or Gomphotheriidae did not become extinct until possibly as recently as 9,100 BP.
American crocodiles or Crocodylus acutus are also paler and more grayish than the relatively dark-hued American alligator. This crocodile species normally crawls on its belly, but it can also “high walk”. Larger specimens can charge up to nearly 10 mph.
Crocodylus acutus can swim at as fast as 20 mph by moving their bodies and tails in a sinuous fashion, but they cannot sustain this speed.
