Crocodiles live in saltwater habitats. Alligators live in freshwater marshes and lakes.
Snouts in crocodiles are more pointed and V-shaped. Alligators have wider and U-shaped snouts.
In them, the fourth tooth on each side of the lower jaw sticks over the upper lip. In them, the upper jaw is wider than the lower one hence when they close their mouths all teeth are hidden.
