Best Answer

alligators are larger than crocodiles, but crocodiles are more aggressive. when it comes to crocodilians, the smaller, the more aggressive. take Caimans, for example, they are the most aggressive crocodilians.

i personally think that they are seriously misunderstood animals; alligators are known for attacking people for no reason, but they often only attack the people who run from them. their brains are triggered by motion; if they see something traveling fast that is near them, they attack, but otherwise, they wont attack. the people attacked from alligators are the ones who are being stupid and are teasing them.

oh, by the way, did you know that crocodilians are the last remaining Archosaurs? Archosaur is the name for the animals like Mesozoic marine reptiles, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs.

@first answer- People come here for correct information >:l Anyone who knows their reptiles obviously knows crocodiles are the larger of the two species.

length its crocodiles are bigger but if you mean with then the alligators are biggerI doubt that. Crocodiles are longer and fatter than alligators. Alligators only win with their fat snouts. Crocodiles have long thin snouts while alligators have fat blunt snouts. But if you have a crocogator...then i wouldnt know XD (half alligator have crocodile, DUH) XD
