What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?

Do you know the difference between a croc and a gator?
Let's look at this picture below.
What are these?
These are animal skulls.
Which is the croc?
The crocs' head is pointed.
So the skull on the right is the croc.
Head shape is not the only difference.
What are some other differences?
Where was this picture taken? It was in the Everglades.
Alligator can tolerate cold weather better than a crocodile.
Crocs live only on the southern tip of Florida.
Alligators can be found throughout Florida.

What else is different?
Alligators prefer fresh water.
The crocodile likes to live in brackish or salt water.

I hoped you liked this.

Can you tell the difference?
Is this a gator or a croc?

Have a Great Day!!!
