Alligator or Crocodile?
Alligators, caimans, and crocodiles are known
collectively as "crocodilians". The main
differences between crocodiles and alligators are
(1) the shape of the jaw, (2) the teeth, and
(3) habitat. Alligator jaws are typically
more pointed and crocodile jaws are typically
more rounded. Crocodiles have a lower tooth
that sticks up over their upper lip when their
mouths are closed. Crocodiles are also more likely
to live in salt water habitats then alligators.
