® ■* «■' -Ss! '' ' H ALLIGATOR OR CROCODILE? — Is the smiling fellow above an alligator or crocodile? The two animals look very similar, and both are “crocodilians.” But there are differences. An alligator’s snout is wide and rounded, while a crocodile’s is longer, thinner and more pointed. And with its mouth closed, a crocodile has a big tooth protruding on each side. In alligators, those two lower teeth slip into a pocket inside his upper jaw, hidden from view. The American alligator was once nearly wiped out and was put on the U.S. endangered species list. They’ve made a great comeback, and in 1977 about 75 per cent were reclassified. However, the American crocodile is still in great danger of extinction. They exist in the U.S. only in Florida, where there are about a dozen breeding females. Shown above is the American alligator. Beavers' teeth grow at the rate of about one inch a month —but they are worn down at approximately the same rate by their gnawing wood.
