Personally I prefer gators *Cuddles the gator face* But both ARE adorable
I actually need to thank you now. I now know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile
Gators typically don't have any teeth showing when their mouths are closed, though, but this is accurate otherwise. :>
really :O I've only ever seen them with some of the top teeth showing since their upper jaws are wider than the lower!
You're correct. They always have upper teeth showing when their mouth is closed.
Not to mention the widely different appearance of the rest of their bodies and their behaviors
They represent two distinct genetic lines within the taxonomic order of corcodilia. Sort of like how bears and canines both fall under the order of caniformia, and branched-off hundreds of thousands of years ago from a common ancestor.
In the Alligator family there are the American alligator which is found exclusively in the southern US, and the Chinese alligator, which is found in a small region of eastern China. Caimans are another branch of the alligator family, that are found throughout South and Central America.
The Crocodile family is much more widespread, with species in southern Florida and the Caribbean, Central and South America, and throughout Africa, Asia, and Australia. Also branched-off from the crocodile family are gharials, which are exclusive to India.

But only fishes have to fear them! Caimens are so cute though...make a great femboy with their small size.
not true! caimen are terrifying and MEAN!! see! :P http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012.....28_634x423.jpg
Haha so much fear! Also if it isn't obvious crocs and gators have been my favorite animal since I was five. I really need a gator OC.
But snaggleteeth are so adorable. ;_; Maybe my gator girl just needs a dentist!
Had to study this sort of thing a few months go while making a D&D character. Really cool to see it boiled down into something easy to understand like this, good job c:
Those "eyebrow" ruffles on the gator tho...

Very cute, and Crocodiles love enjoying the land more than water or something I read up on too. Pretty cool they both got hangout preferences.
"BOTH ARE 100% ADORABLE"
SO MUCH YES ;3;

I may need to have you run by my own gator lady to check and see if she has the correct gator-only aspects.
And I'm really curious how you would do the Sarchosuchus dino :) .

Excellent! I love taxonomy, and a simple educational illustration like this to help inform people is awesome to me!
I'm still kinda new to the difference between a croc and an alli. So allis have a u-shaped jaw and a croc has a v-shaped jaw and has lower jaw teeth sticking up.
See, people?! That's why Scampi's a croc and I'm an alligator! http://i.imgur.com/Ki0WVZx.png NSFW
Both look like they tore up your shoes and that they're very sorry :3
i was absentmindedly looking at your ref and was just about to ask two seconds ago how to tell the difference before i just randomly clicked onto your front page and found this. what a nice coincidence!
i love these types of images, they're so mega-helpful. both are super cute tho, you can't go wrong with a gator or a croc!

Grew up loving Croc's over Gators and Krookodiles over Feraligatr's~
I'm definitely going to keep a hold of this to help others! Yes, they're all adorable.
Crocogators. Best of both worlds. *flashes toothy grin* ^,=,^
