While you are never supposed to smile at a crocodile (and that''s according to Peter Pan and Captain Hook) before you decide not to smile at a crocodile, it is always helpful if you know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator, just in case you want to smile at an alligator. You see, the difference is all in the nose! ( Or it's in the snout, if you like!) Alligators have a wide, U-shaped snout; and crocodiles have a pointed, V-shaped snout. When the crocodile snout is shut, is looks like he is giving you a very big grin; because the fourth tooth on each side of his lower jaw sticks right up over his upper lip! But don't believe it! That crocodile is not smiling at you! Take it from Captain Hook!
