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 crocodiles are more closely related to birds than alligators, which are more closely related to lizards. Crocodiles also have longer snouts than alligators, and they tend to be found in saltwater habitats, while alligators live primarily in freshwater environments.
