Hot for Word?

Raymond asked: What's the difference between Alligators and crocodiles?

answer:

Crocodile:

a large predatory semiaquatic reptile with long jaws, long tail, short legs, and a horny textured skin, using submersion and stealth toapproach prey unseen

Alligator:

a large semiaquatic reptile similar to a crocodile but with a broader and shorter head, native to the Americas and China

So, it's mostly cosmetic. Check out Wiki, if you want more info.
