I coccodrilli e gli alligatori si assomigliano. Hanno entrambi fauci enormi con denti aguzzi e una lunga coda. Il loro corpo è coperto di squame irregolari. Gli alligatori hanno il muso largo, arrotondato e a forma di U.
Di solito sono di colore scuro. Il muso è la parte sporgente della testa di un animale, comprendente naso e bocca. I coccodrilli hanno il muso più sottile. Inoltre sono di colore più chiaro rispetto agli alligatori. Alligatori e coccodrilli sono diversi, ma sono entrambi rettili. Il corpo di un rettile può avere le squame o le placche ossee. Serpenti e lucertole sono rettili con le squame. Gli alligatore e i coccodrilli, invece, hanno le placche ossee, chiamate “scuti“. Sia le squame, che gli scudi proteggono il corpo del rettile. 
Alligatori e coccodrilli appartengono all’ordine dei Crocodylia e sono detti anche “LORICATI“. 
Ne esistono 25 specie diverse. Di solito vivono nelle zone calde di tutto il mondo. I loricati non si allontanano mai dall’acqua. Trascorrono molto tempo immersi in pozze, laghi, paludi, acquitrini, fiumi e pantani. Tutti i loricati hanno sensi molto sviluppati. Vista, olfatto e udito sono migliori rispetto a quelli di altri rettili. Al buio vedono meglio di noi. Anche la loro pelle è molto particolare: riescono a percepire i movimenti degli animali, così nell’acqua fangosa  individuano facilmente la preda.

Different students learn better in different ways, and it's important to find a way to study that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help you study better.

Make a plan
Decide when, where and for how long you are going to study. If you decide what you need to get done every time you study, then it will be easier to achieve your goals. Also, if you do smaller amounts of work regularly, you won't have the stress of needing to cram everything just before an important exam.

Test yourself on what you've learned
After you read something, you should test yourself on it. And instead of just doing it once, do it often. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first learn something to make sure you really remember it. You can also work with a friend to test each other.

Take a break
Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better. A study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive people work for about 52 minutes at a time, then take a 17-minute break in between. So when making your study plan, don't forget to include breaks in it.

Stay healthy
Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study. Research has found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while sleeping helps the brain save new information.
