      Oh I don’t know! Unfortunately I didn’t do much biology in school and I don’t know much about animals and differences between them.

      Let’s do some research and learn something new!

      *looks up differences between alligators and crocodiles online*

      There are 2 main differences:
      Snout shape: Alligators have wider, U-shaped snouts, while crocodile front ends are more pointed and V-shaped.
      Toothy grin: When their snouts are shut, crocodiles look like they’re flashing a toothy grin where alligators don’t.

      I got this from livescience.com, so there we go we learnt something new together!
