Is there a difference between alligators and crocodiles?
Yes. There are differences in the jaw, head, teeth, and general shape and colour. The main difference is a wider snout. An alligator has an extremely strong jaw, which can literally bite a car in half. A crocodile can still bite animals/humans into pieces, though. Alligators are only native to China and the United States. Crocodiles, on the other hand, can be found in Asia, The Americas, Australia and Africa. Here’s some information from wikipedia: While alligators are often confused with crocodiles, they belong to two quite separate taxonomic families. Alligators differ from crocodiles principally in having wider and shorter heads, with more obtuse snouts; in having the fourth, enlarged tooth of the under jaw received, not into an external notch, but into a pit formed for it within the upper one; in lacking a jagged fringe which appears on the hind legs and feet of the crocodile; in having the toes of the hind feet webbed not more than half way to the tips; and an intolerance to salin
