Can you tell me what is the difference between the crocodile and the alligator?

The main difference between a crocodile and an alligator is that a crocodile has longer and more pointed snout, while an alligator's snout is shorter and rounder. Crocodiles also tend to be found in saltwater habitats, while alligators prefer freshwater environments. Additionally, crocodiles are typically larger than alligators, with adult males of both species growing up to 20 feet long.
