How do you tell the difference between these reptiles?

One has teeth inside the jaw, one has teeth on the outside...
I think it's the alligator which has the teeth out.....I'm not sure

One begins with an 'A' and one with a 'C'?
Umm, yeah, I think Oddball's and Car Expert's points are right, and I think one has a longer snout or something? And one prefers land more than the other? Not completely sure... ask the café vet!

If I met either I think I'd be glad if it had had its teeth out!

Crocodiles are big, alligators aren't. And you don't tend to get them in the same place anyway.

Hpefully they'd had their teeth out.
I though it had something to do with the shape of the snout?

No they had teeth. They just won't attack you coz you're bigger than them, so it's really safe.
The Piranhas are more dangerous except we did it in their wet season, which means that they won't just strip you to pieces when you swim around coz they have other things to eat!

Get out. Now.
I've always been scared of crocodiles/alligators more than something like sharks for instance. I think it's because they can get you both in the water and out of it.

Yes I've heard (I seem to remember - but my memory's not what it was!) that one has a longer, narrower shaped snout than the other, which has a more rounded/blunted looking end to the snout. I never remember which way round it is.
The similarity between them is .......I wouldn't like to be in the vicinity of either of them unless there are huge strong steel bars inbetween me and them!!

the difference is that crocodiles are larger and generaly tropical
i found a great joke abou hornists
Hoping to demonstrate the value of music education as a replacement for video gaming, a psychologist arranged for the controlled education of two similarly-qualified high school students. The first student was provided with a 4 year education at a major university, unlimited access to a video arcade and an inexhaustible supply of quarters. The second student was provided with a 4 year education at a major music conservatory, unlimited access to a horn teacher, and a professional quality double horn.
The study was summarized as follows:
Student A became obsessed with and spent 8+ hours a day playing PacMan. Normal personal hygiene and social skills declined, and no friendships were formed, except with students similarly obsessed. Student A did not find regular employment after graduation, preferring instead to continue his long hours playing PacMan. After three years, he began to understand that he could not earn a living playing PacMan, and after 5 years, Student A has obtained reasonably secure employment as a computer programmer.
Student B became obsessed with and spent 8+ hours a day playing his Paxman. Normal personal hygiene and social skills declined, and no friendships were formed, except with students similarly obsessed. Student B did not find regular employment after graduation, preferring instead to continue long hours playing his Paxman. After three years, he began to understand that he could not earn a living playing his Paxman, and after 5 years, Student B has obtained reasonably secure employment as a computer programmer.
Conclusion: There is no significant difference between an undergraduate degree in horn performance and 4 years of intensive video gaming.

wasps can sting humans multiply bees guts get wripped out if they try to get out of human skin
Tess

Boy, you ARE clever! Yes, wasps can sting humans multiple times and still live to multiply whereas bees get killed after stinging you just once (to defend itself or its colony). Their bodies get ripped off whilst trying to get out of your skin.

also bees are bigger and make honey to feed on using flowers and sting only in defence wasps use their stings to hunt other insects as well as defense

Don't wasps have alkaline stings and bees have acidic stings? Or is it the other way round... sorry I look at the pictures in my text book when I'm bored in chemistry!

And I like crocs and alligators they're groovy!! But I think crocodiles have pointy heads. And camens look like crocodiles and alligators too so it's all confuzzling!

I know what's different!
Crododile is what you say when you have a triplet stuck in the middle of a piece of music that is in simple time, then you say alligator to get back into the simple time divisions!
At least, that's what my teacher does with her little students!

The ones that sting are non-breeding females and the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying tube). The queens of both species stay in the nest/hive laying eggs, except when swarming and mating. My recollection is that wasp stings are alkaline and bees' acidic. Treat the first with vinegar and the second with soda. I think the washing variety is best.

Crocodiles and alligators... Alligators prefer to swallow their prey whole, crocodiles will happily bite lumps off you, so they told us at the alligator farm in Florida years ago. I realise this is a high risk way to find out which is which...
