I’m fine with you calling fresh water crocodiles alligators but salt water crocodiles are a completely different level of threat. Like, I wont run away if there is an alligator but I will if there is a crocodile.
I understand your confusion, and share your inability to tell the difference, I’m taken to understand that there are BIOLOGICAL differences between the croc and the gator, so… No.
I usually tell by how ugly they are. If it looks almost friendly if wasn’t a giant lizard, it’s an alligator. If it looks like it would definitely bite my face off and mail the pieces to my parents, it’s a crocodile.
Its easy to tell the difference between alligators and crocodiles. One will see you later, the other one will see you in a while.
(I’ll see myself out)
If you’re 0 for 723 at guessing which one’s which, doesn’t that mean you’re amazing at telling the difference? If you really were bad it’d be closer to 50/50 right/wrong.
Depends on how much you second-guess yourself I suppose.
I think it’s more like of the 723 times he’s tried to determine the difference he got it right 0 times. True, it might not necessarily be correct usage, but personally I believe language should evolve with common usage and not stay stuck in the same way it was 100 years ago. Plus this IS Adam we’re talking about here.
Where I live, everything is a crocodile. Nobody speaks about alligators.
Helpful tip: you can correctly identify a crocodile or alligator by checking to see if the animal sees you later or in awhile.
And hotdogs are no more. From now on there are only sandwiches.
Shouldn’t there be an apostrophe in “which one’s which” in the second panel?
Yes, there should.
I know there are sports teams with Alligator as their mascots but what if there are teams of Crocadiles as well? This would lump them all together.

The only guide I’ve seen is the location and visible teeth versus not.

Wait… neither of them are lizards. S-stop, put the bat down I’llwaitstopdon’tdothat–

Reverse this and I can agree. They are all crocodilians.
Come to Australia – we have crocodiles!
Try calling them alligators and they *will* eat you.
Actually, they will re-eat you since they would already be eating you.

Why don’t you make like a tree and get out of here.
Visionary experience.

No offense, Adam.
It’s the old 50/50/90 rule. If there is a 50% chance of getting right there is a 90% chance you will guess it wrong…
You can tell them apart by the shape of their snouts – crocodile snouts are C-shaped while alligator snouts are A-shaped.
Failing that, you can tell them apart by whether they’ll see you later or after a while.
How do they mispronounce “crocodile” where you live? The word is “in”. “In” a while. “After” has too many syllables.
I just call them crocodilians for simplicity because caimans & gharials exist
