• Srsly, I don’t know if I could tell which one was if it were put in front of me, and I’d be just as terrified if I were in the water with either.

      If the mouth is closed then crocs have their teeth poking out, gators don’t. If the mouth is open then consider running away.

      • Interesting. I’ve heard the round vs pointy snout one (which doesn’t help because I can never remember which way it goes - I need mnemonics, dammit) but not this one.

        I guess there are now crocs in FL, so I may have to use this information someday. Like, “oh, its teeth were showing when they mouth was closed, so I’m being eaten by a croc, not a common alligator!”
