How come alligators and crocodiles can’t make viable offspring? Isn’t the only difference between the two the snout?
In: 3
The snout is just the most visible feature. If you look at them carefully they are different colors, their eyes are placed differently in the skull, their shells are different, the body have different shape, etc. Although these are more subtle then the snout shape. Saying that the only difference between crocodiles and alligators is the snout is like saying the only difference between humans and gorillas is the body hair.
