In french we say "c'est caĂŻman la mĂŞme chose" (a very approximate word play between "quasiment" (almost) and "caĂŻman" (caiman)
-
Aligators will "see you later."
-
And crocodiles will do the same, but “in a while” and with smile.
-
And their counterparts "in a while".

Left is Alligator, Right is Crocodile.
The trick is that Alligators have A shaped Angular snouts and Crocodiles have C shaped snouts, except that's actually wrong and it's literally backwards.
-
Crocs are usually more pointy looking and angular than gators. Crocs are also much more dangerous.
-
I assure you, alligators are PLENTY dangerous. Although their testicles ARE notoriously ticklish. Go ahead. Try it.

“Hahahahaha stop hahahaha STOP hahahAHHHHHH” rips your head off
-
Nah, they're just big scaly alley cats.
I kayaked in a swamp full of alligators for a week. I would not do the same in a swamp full of crocodiles.

As an aussie: the alligator is the one that looks weird
-
As a (former) Floridian: the crocodile is the one that looks weird
-

Whichever the fuck, I don’t care, I am terrified at a primal level looking this photo

Gee, I don't know, DominusOfMegadeus. Maybe deep down, you're afraid of any Apex Predator that lived through the KT Extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years because it's the perfect killing machine: a half ton of cold-blooded fury with the bite force of twenty-thousand newtons and a stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hooves. And now we're surrounded, those snake eyes are watching from the shadows waiting for the night...

Crocodilians (which include all croc like animals) are not quite cold blooded. Their hearts keep oxygenated and carbonated blood mostly separate, affording them the lower metabolism of cold blooded animals and the speed of warm blooded ones.
Their carbonated blood also takes a your through the stomach before going to the lungs. You see, the higher the carbonation, the lower the pH, and having that source of H+ ions next to their tummy is paramount for them to manufacture their highly acidic gastric juice.

Pictured: normal shoe and pointy shoe
-
I remember the croc cap from Metal Gear Solid 3
And Crocs (the shoe) look more like gators lol
-
And the alligator is the one next to the crocodile, so this sounds more like a similarity than a difference
-
Seems fair
-
Hey peeps! Easy way to tell! The Alligator has their mouth shaped like an A and the Crocodile has their mouth shaped as a C! Can't go wrong with that!
Edit: And also there's the cayman or as we like to call it, the 'kay man. You can tell because they're usually toasted.
