crocodiles and turtles are both from the genera reptila, but there is a wide difference between them.
turtle have flippers,crocs dont.
turtles have a protective shell around them,whereas crocodiles have a covering of scales.
turtle has a beak, whereas crocodiles have teeth...etc...etc...
Turtles are known to be preyed upon by a variety of predators, including alligators, snakes, birds of prey, raccoons, and humans. They are vulnerable to predation, especially when they are young and small.
Alligators usually ambush turtles near the water's edge and grab them with their powerful jaws. They then crush the turtle's shell with their teeth or roll over repeatedly to break it open. The alligator then devours the turtle's body.
No, when alligators go under water, they are holding their breath.
Turtles and alligators both belong to the group called reptiles, while eels are part of the fish group. Turtles share more recent common ancestry with alligators, as they both evolved from a common reptilian ancestor, whereas eels branched off on a separate evolutionary path earlier. This shared evolutionary history makes turtles more closely related to alligators than to eels.

mother turtles and snakes are difficult
Turtles do not ride alligators. This is a myth or misconception. Turtles and alligators do not have a symbiotic relationship where one rides the other. They are separate species that do not interact in this way.
Yes adult mud turtles are often hunted by alligators.
Yes, I'm sorry, but indeed they do eat turtles, especially the young, when their shells are still soft.
they lay their eggs underneath the sand
Turtles and tortoises branched off from the mainstream of reptile evolution years ago. Yes, turtles and alligators come from the same ancestors.
Well...There are snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators. (Yes, alligators and crocodiles are two totally different things! Trust me. I swear...)
Both animals are capable of eating turtles.
alligators
Turtles ride on alligators to catch a ride and conserve energy while moving through the water. This behavior is known as "basking" and allows turtles to rest and regulate their body temperature.
Alligators, mostly.
