"We asked for an alligator, we paid for an alligator and unfortunately we did not get an alligator."
Florida's new football guide has a picture of a croc on it instead of an alligator. I think that's kinda funny cause it sounds like something that only someone who watches the Discovery Channel 9 hours a day would notice. Oh wait, that's me.

Yup, that's a croc. Notice the narrow, pointed snout, the flatter head, the light tan color, and most importantly, the alignment of the teeth. They spaced the same width in both the upper and lower jaw, meaning that they must interlock when the mouth is closed. An alligator, on the other hand, has the teeth spaced wider on the top jaw so that it's teeth don't have to interlock.
How to tell them apart
