I'm trying to find out if there is a difference between an alligator and a crocodile.

An alligator is a member of the crocodile family, which includes both species of animals. They are closely related to each other and can interbreed, but they are different enough that their offspring would be infertile. Alligators are typically larger than crocodiles, with adults ranging from 5 to 15 feet long. Crocodiles tend to have more slender bodies and longer snouts, and some species can grow up to 20 feet in length.
