    Hey peeps! Easy way to tell! The Alligator has their mouth shaped like an A and the Crocodile has their mouth shaped as a C! Can’t go wrong with that!

    Edit: And also there’s the cayman or as we like to call it, the 'kay man. You can tell because they’re usually toasted.

        Yep, it is reversed

        Crocodile teeth don’t show, Gators have teeth visible when their mouth is closed, that was the trick I learned as a kid

          If I’m close enough to tell this, the last thing I’m probably worried about is if it’s an alligator or a crocodile

        Ikr. It was probably a bunch of dads making jokes when naming them.
