a crocodile is shaped like a fish but has legs, a big tail, huge rough scales and a big head with lots of teeth?
The shape of a crocodile's tale is very similar to the shape of a snake's body.

A crocodile's head is more narrow and the snout comes to more of a point as compared to an alligator. An alligator's snout is blunt - more of a U-shape. I try to remember the difference by thinking that if the nose is pointed like a capital "A", then it is not an Alligator. It's a bit tough to remember since it is a negative. Another memory jog - though negative - would be if the snout is rounded (a capital "C" is rounded) it is not a Crocodile.

the french word for crocodile is crocodile
Alligators, caimans and gharials are all relatives to crocodiles, and so they look very similar. There are also a few lizards that look a bit like crocodiles but are not related to them.
