  Alligator: U-shaped snout.
  Crocodile: V-shaped snout.

  I’m glad the Romans never had to deal with the difference though, since alligators are only found in the Americas. Otherwise this explanation would still fly over their heads. (“V? U? SIMILE SVNT, FVNGE PVTRIDE!”)

    So the way to remember which is which is to first know that crocodiles are found in what used to be Ancient Rome and their snout looks like they could write it with their letters. Got it.

  That's a crocodile, they have pointy faces. Aligators are the ones with the wide snouts.
