∙ 11y agoThe American alligator is very dangerous. It can grow up to 20ft. All alligators are dangerous really and don't get near alligators especially in Spring because that's when they have their babies.

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.
