I've always wondered what the difference between the crocodile and the alligator is. Can you tell me?

The main difference between a crocodile and an alligator is size, with crocodiles typically being larger than alligators. Crocodiles also have longer snouts and sharper teeth than alligators. Alligators are generally more aquatic in nature and prefer to live near bodies of water, while crocodiles can be found in both fresh and saltwater environments.
