Ruger New Vaquero - Montado This is a discussion on Ruger New Vaquero - Montado within the Ruger Single Action forums, part of the Pistol & Revolver Forum category; Never heard of the montado before. Sure is nice lookin'....
1 Snout shape: Alligators have wider, U-shaped snouts, while crocodile front ends are more pointed and V-shaped. 2  Toothy grin: When their snouts are shut, crocodiles look like they're flashing a toothy grin, as the fourth tooth on each side of the lower jaw sticks up over the upper lip.oming face to face with a crocodile or an alligator, you'd see a mouth full of serrated teeth that would likely scare the bejeezus out of you. The two reptile groups are close relatives, so their physical similarities are expected. Upon closer inspection, not recommended out in the wild, you'd spot glaring differences:
To begin with, Crocodiles are from the crocodilian family and the alligatoridae family belongs to the alligators. If you look at the snout on the crocodiles, you will see it looks like a narrow âVâ that is very long, while the alligatorâs snout has a wider âUâ-shape.t is not uncommon for people to mistake a crocodile for an alligator. Yet once you learn a bit about them it doesnât take long to realize that there are several differences between the two. Although they look very similar to each other once you know the differences between the two, itâs not hard to tell them apart.
