Best Answer

they are two different species, allowing them to have different features.

details seen on both alligators and crocodiles can differentiate them. these features include:

alligators are usually dark green/black with wide rounded U shaped snouts and tiny black spots.

crocodiles are bigger than alligators with longer + thinner V shaped snouts and tend to be more aggressive.
