Alligators are crocodile-shaped. Both reptiles have long slender snouts with many sharp teeth. Both have long, thick tails and short stubby legs. The body is short and stocky, and there is no real neck. If you draw an oval shape with one leg sticking off at each curve, then add a long S-shaped tail on one end and a long skinny snout on the other, you have drawn an alligator.

How does the shape of a crocodile’s head differ from that of an alligator?
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.
