Are crocodiles bigger than aligators?

Answer 1

Generally, crocodiles are more slimline and in better shape, depending upon their environment and of course, their diet. Crocodiles have a narrow snout and a more defined tooth pattern, whereas, alligators have a more rigorous, staggered and indefinate tooth pattern. Alligators are commonly "fatter" and weigh more than crocodiles, though, this is very dependant upon the type of species. Some Nile Crocodiles may weigh more than the typical American Alligators, though, Caaman Crocodiles will weigh much less than the typical alligator. So, basically the answer to your question is "Species Dependent" and generally crocodiles are not bigger than alligators.
