    Ok, so this one was so easy that I jumped on it myself (that IS a turtle and not a tortoise - and a gator not a croc?). Upcoming ones are not so easy and will make you wish you read your Ranger Rick books when you were kids...

    Its hard to tell if that's a gator or a croc from that angle. The easiest way to tell is by looking at the snout... a gator has a shorter flatter snout as seen here:

    A crock has a longer more pointy snout. The other easy way to tell is looking at the teeth. Gator's have a wide upper jaw that conceals all of the teeth on the lower jaw. Croc's have a narrower upper jaw that allows some of the lower teeth to show.

    Does anyone have a better angle so we can tell for sure?
