In french we say "c'est caïman la même chose" (a very approximate word play between "quasiment" (almost) and "caïman" (caiman)
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.
You are amplifying a bot account, do better lemmy
@ZDL is a bot account?
Aligators will "see you later."
And crocodiles will do the same, but “in a while” and with smile.
And their counterparts "in a while".
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
keep your weirdly fat lizards then!
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.
Oh, not that kind of carbonation, lol
In fact it is the same, in a way. It's CO2 diluted in water. It ionizes the water forming carbonic acid.
So you're saying that if you shake a crocodile, they explode like a bottle of soda?
No more than you or me. The amount of co2 diluted in our blood is nowhere near the over saturation levels in a soda bottle.
HahahhahahahahahahahahHHahHHahHHahHahhaHahahHahahahhhHAHhHahHHahHHhahahahaahHhhH
Seriously though, this meme reads like a chain letter sent in the 90s
Also no gharial
I remember the croc cap from Metal Gear Solid 3
And Crocs (the shoe) look more like gators lol
Pictured: normal shoe and pointy shoe
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.
Isn't it flipped? Counterintuitively
Yep, it is reversed
Crocodile teeth don't show, Gators have teeth visible when their mouth is closed, that was the trick I learned as a kid
If I'm close enough to tell this, the last thing I'm probably worried about is if it's an alligator or a crocodile
Ikr. It was probably a bunch of dads making jokes when naming them.
