Crocodiles and alligators look similar, but they belong to separate families of the order Crocodilia.
The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at their snouts. An alligator has a broad snout, and its upper jaw is wider than its lower jow. This gives the alligator an overbite--if you look at its snout while its mouth is closed, you will only see its upper teeth.
A crocodile has a narrower snout, and some of its lower teeth are visible when its mouth is closed, giving it that famous snaggle-toothed grin.

Is alligators a herbivore carnivore or omnivore?
Alligators are close carnivorous cousins to the crocodile who is considerably larger and has a nastier aggressive nature. 'Gators' , in comparison, have elongated snouts and are generally green in color. 'Crocks' have broader heads (like cobras compared to their kin) and are generally brown in color. Both have been around for about 150 million years so they dined well on dinosaurs for nearly a hundred million years. One word of advice. Stay well clear of both. They can all run at about three times your best speed.
