A crocodile is a large reptile with a long tail and short legs. It is a powerful animal with thick skin, a long pointed snout, and many sharp teeth. Crocodiles live in rivers, lakes, and swamps in warm places on the earth.
Alligators and crocodiles look a lot alike. Do you know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? One big difference is that an alligator's snout is wider and rounder. It is not pointed like a crocodile's. Also, an alligator usually has a darker color.
