Alligators are freshwater animals, and you'll usually find them in lakes, rivers, and swamps in the southeastern United States and China. Crocodiles, on the other hand, are more adaptable and can live in both fresh and saltwater environments - they're like the ultimate travelers! From Africa to Australia, they can be found in all sorts of different habitats.
Crocodiles are also bigger and stronger than alligators, with some species growing up to 23 feet long and weighing over 1,000 pounds. That's like the size of a small car - crazy, right? Alligators, while still large, typically top out at around 15 feet long and 500 pounds.
