Answer:
Can you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? In order to do so, you'd probably need to see the two animals side by side. An alligator's snout is shorter and broader than that of a crocodile. When an alligator's mouth is shut you can see only the top teeth protruding outside the mouth but with a crocodile, you can see several of its bottom teeth as well as its top teeth. The most important difference is in behavior rather than looks. Although alligators are dangerous they do not often attack people.
