| rdfs:label | - Alligators and Crocodiles
|
| rdfs:comment | - Alligators and Crocodiles are different species belonging to the order crocodilia, of the class sauropsida. To the layman, the two species are easily confused. (The main visual differences are that alligators have a broader snout and crocodiles show both sets of teeth when their mouths are closed.) Crocodiles are native to the Americas, Africa, Australia, and Asia, whereas alligators are only native to the United States and China. The U.S. is, in fact, the only location where crocodiles and alligators co-exist, although crocodiles are almost extinct in this country.

Alligators and crocodiles have appeared in several Muppet productions over the years, with the same puppets used interchangeably for both species.
