Alligator/Crocodile

[PurpleParis]

I know that I should probably already know the answer to this question at the grand old age of 45....but I don't! What is the difference between alligator's and crocodile's, I don't need the deep and meaningful's....is it just a question of Northern and Southern hemisphere?

I think its to do with the snout.

crocs have much longer/ thiner snouts/mouths and alligators have wider and shorter mouths/snouts.

If One was chasing me I wouldn't care much(about the difference) but I think an alligator is less likely to chase a human than a crocodile is.

Thank you all....yes I am more than capable of googling but I always get great answers from AB'ers so generally always think of you all first!

''What is the difference between alligator's and crocodiles''

Easy... Crocs give birth to handbags and dodgy rubbery summer footwear...

Probably the easiest way for a layman to tell is when the mouth is closed the fourth tooth is clearly visible in crocs, not in allgators.
