WOW!

shoes, that question needs to be answered by an expert. I have no idea!

I can only tell from the superficial aspect i.e. the size of the scales. Alligator scales are longer rectangulars whereas croc scales tend to be squarer and broader.

Shoes, the croc scale will also have a pore, which is actually a follicle that once supported a sensory organ on the croc. Alligator also has greater meshing between scales.

Don't the mouths vary in the two animals? That is what I remember learning in grade school in Florida. Teachers were always cautioning the children about lakes since in FL it is an issue.

While my husband and I had our sailboat in a Marina in FL an alligator swam up and snatched another boater's German Shepard from the dock. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't have believed it had I not been there that day. Alligator actually swam in salt water to get the pooch. I still get upset when I think about it. They deserve to be made into CDC and purses!

Oh, jeez, gazoo. I've only been taught to differentiate between alligators and crocs after they've been killed, skinned, tanned, and turned into Hermes products.

I love the CDC! Here's mine, it's gold textured leather, no longer made, it's about 14 years old. I'm itching for a white one, they look so glam in the summer!
