Alligator
Crocodile
Alligators and crocodiles are reptiles. Like other reptiles, they
have dry, scaly skin and lay eggs.They are cold-blooded. This means
they can't make heat to keep their bodies warm on a cold day. They
have to be in a warm place to stay warm. That is why they are found
most often in hot climates
When these reptiles lie still, their greenish-brown bodies look
like big logs. This can trick other animals into coming so close they
become dinner!
Most crocodiles and alligators live near fresh water. A few, like
the saltwater crocodile, live in places where rivers flow into the sea
and the water is salty.
Their bodies have adapted to life in the water. Eyes and nostrils
are set on top of their heads. They can see and breathe when the rest
of the body is underuvater. The nostrils close to keep out water. A
transparent flap of skin covers the eye so it can See under water.
An alligator has a round, wide snout. A crocodile's snout is
narrower. A lower tooth on each side shows when a crocodile closes
it mouth. lt doesn't show on an alligator.

Both crocodiles and alligators are hunters. They feed on large
animals like cattle and smaller animals like birds and fish. They use
their powerful tails, sharp teeth, and strong jaws to capture food. Their
teeth are not good for tearing or chewing food. They shake their prey
around to tear off big chunks which are then swallowed whole. Têeth
are often lost, but new teeth quickly replace them. They may grow fifty
or more sets of teeth in a lifetime.
ln the water these reptiles swim by moving their tails. On land,
crocodiles move quickly with their front and back legs working
together. Alligators usually slither along on their stomachs with their
legs spread out at their sides.
Crocodiles dig nests in the sand for their eggs.They lay the
eggs and cover them up. Alligators make a pile of plant material ,lay
their eggs, and cover them up with more plant material. When the
eggs are ready to hatch, the babies begin to make noises in their
shells. The mothers uncover the nests. The hatchlings'head for water
as soon as they leave the nest. Alligators and some crocodiles help
their babies to water by carrying them in theÍr mouths or on their
backs.
The hatchlings eat small worms, snails, and insects. Even
though the mothers look after their young while they are small, many
are eaten by other animals before they are grown.
