Here's how I remember the difference: Crocodile begins with "C" but the snout shape is pointed like the letter "A". Alligator begins with "A" but the snout shape is round like the letter "C". Hope this helps.

Snout shape, teeth, where they live, size, food, etc. But the snout is the easiest thing to distinguish.

Salt water Crocodiles grow significantly larger than Alligators. It would be like putting Mike Tyson (in his prime) into a ring with Pee Wee Herman.

Jamie, the alligators snout is flat and the crocs are pointed more! I didn’t know for a long time the difference in the two either.
