      alligators are only found in the Americas.

      And China. Specifically the lower Yangtze River basin.

      So the way to remember which is which is to first know that crocodiles are found in what used to be Ancient Rome and their snout looks like they could write it with their letters. Got it.

    That’s a crocodile, they have pointy faces. Aligators are the ones with the wide snouts.

      Which is weird because “alligator” starts with an A, which is pointy, while “crocodile” starts with a C, which is wide. This is a conspiracy to confuse the masses.

    Crocodiles are the ones that eat full-grown adults.

      I laugh when people think I should be scared of the alligators around here. Only time I’ve seen them, they were hauling ass away from me. :)

      No, not going to redneck into a lake full of 'em, but they’re mostly wussies, like most other wild animals.

      Crocodiles? When I first took my Filipino wife kayaking on the local swamp, “Are the crocodiles here?” “Nah, no crocodiles.”

      Crocs? Not fucking around with those boys.

    I keep hearing that people “keep asking ai” when I google something it gives me an ai rundown I didn’t ask for. Am I being counted as the number of people who are “asking ai?” Cause I don’t think that’s fair

    I think one easy way to remember is if you’re somewhere where either one resides, you’ll know about it.

      There’s neither gators or crocs where I live and i can’t complain about not knowing the difference because it means any water spot is safe
