Well,\nReptiles have scales. Amphibians have smooth skin (although some are warty). \nReptiles are total land animals. Amphibians need the water. And yet this is not always true. There are many marine reptiles, but they must go ashore to lay their eggs, well the sea snake might be a possible exception there. There are also amphibians that are able to spend their whole lives out of the water. They are rare, but there. \nThe real big difference (other than scales) is that reptiles use hardshelled, amniotic eggs for their babies. All amphibians have soft jellylike eggs. \n\nThere are several anatomical (pertaining to body structure) and reproductive differences between reptiles and amphibians. Reptiles include alligators, crocodiles, turtles, and snakes. Amphibians include salamanders, toads, and frogs.\n\nOne difference between the two is the structure of their outer skin. Reptiles are covered with scales, shields, or plates, and their toes have claws. Amphibians, on the other hand, have moist, glandular skins, and their toes lack claws.\n\nThe eggs of reptiles have a thick, hard shell that protects the developing embryo from moisture loss, even on dry land. In contrast, the eggs of amphibians lack a hard outer covering and, thus, must be laid in water or in damp places.\n\nFinally, young reptiles are miniature replicas of their parents in general appearance, although not always in coloration and pattern....\n\nReptiles and amphibians, along with birds, fish, and mammals, belong to a group of animals known as vertebrates. Vertebrates have a bony backbone–a strong, flexible column to which other body structures are attached. Reptiles and amphibians vary enormously in size, from tiny frogs and lizards only half an inch (1cm) long to some crocodiles and snakes that can reach lengths of nearly 30 feet

The blue whale. It has been dubbed the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth; it bigger than even the biggest dinosaurs. It is on average between 80 and 100 ft. long. Females are bigger than males. The largest ever recorded when measurements were accepted world wide was 102ft. But befor there was standard world wide measurement, whaler claimed to have recorded a 108 foot blue whale, and a 110 foot blue whale; but scientist aren't sure how accurate those last two measerments are.\nThe baby is aslo the largest baby in the world.

Crocodiles have evolved throught the years through their propitious use of natural selection.  In the same way that we descended from ape, crocodiles descended from alligators.  This is part of the new philosophy called intelligent design.

The American crocodile is endangered because few were left after the initial hunting spree before they were protected.\n\nTheir range became limited by human development in their original range and human interference with their habitat areas (e.g. removal of brackish mangrove swamp).  It is suspected that certain kinds of pollution interferes with their ability to reproduce.

Enormous - it's a bigger word so it sounds bigger!\n\nGargantuan is bigger than enormous.\n\nGood question :-) [of course there's not a real answer but it's fun to answer questions like this.]

The Australian salt water crocodile is a ferocious predater.\nSo is the great white shark.\nSalty's often swim great distances out to sea. (especially, off of Queensland Austraia.\nThe shark has an advantage because it does not have to surface for air.\nSteve Irwin got some great footage of just such a battle, & screened it on his show "crocodile hunter".. The shark lost a pectoral fin and almost was killed. But the salty surfaced for a gulp of air and was nailed by the shark for his moment's inattention.

the aligator has a much broader nose and is much smaller than the crocodile...the crocodle is more aggresive and can be found in more areas of the world

Probably a komodo dragon or crocodile. Most people don't know what a komodo dragon is so I have included a link with some pictures.

It would be really nice if people didn't just take guesses at the answers. Every single person who has answered so far has given false information.\n\nCrocodiles are not marine animals. Some species of crocodiles will live in brackish or tidal water and travel in the ocean. Many crocodile species are entirely confined to freshwater habitats. Some alligators will also live in brackish or tidal water and travel in the ocean.\n\nCrocodiles are notlarger than alligators. Many crocodile species are much smaller than the majority of alligator species.\n\nNor do crocodiles have broader snouts, in fact exactly the opposite. With the exception of one species alligators  will always have a much broader snout than a crocodile of the same size. Alligators have a wide "U"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed "V"-shaped noses.\n\nThe other easy to spot difference is that in alligators the top jaw is wider than the bottom, whereas in crocs the two jaws are the same width.

The heaviest living snake is a Burmese Python weighing 182.76 kg (403 lb.) It is 21 years old, 8.23-m (27 ft) long, and has a girth of 71.12 cm (28 in) Known as "Baby", she lives at the Serpent Safari Park in Gurnee, Illinois, USA.\n\nThe longest snake was a reticulated python (Python reticulates) of southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines regularly exceeds 6.25 m (20 ft 6 in). The record length is 10 m (32 ft 9.5 in), for a specimen shot in Celebes, Indonesia, in 1912.

It might have been an Alligator Snapping Turtle, the largest snapping turtle in the world. It lives 20 to 70 years with 100 thought entirely possible.The Common Snapping Turtle are actually even more aggressive than this one. They live 50 years or more. When they are pets they show remarkable intelligence for a reptile and can even recognize specific people and show a preference of the company of one individual over another.

What do you mean by largest? Do you mean biggest weight or biggest length?\n\n**The heaviest snake in the world is the anaconda. They can weigh more then 500 pounds!\n\n**The longest snake in the world is the python. They can get to be about 33 feet!

No. The American Alligator is not like it's aggressive cousin, the Crocodile. Alligators are ambushers while crocs are hunters. You don't resemble food, so they will most likely leave you alone.

Alligator\nAn alligator is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. The name alligator is an anglicized form of the Spanish el lagarto ("the lizard"), the name by which early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida called the alligator. There are two living alligator species: the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis).\n\nDescription\nAlligators are characterized by a broader snout and eyes more dorsally located than their crocodile cousins. Both living species also tend to be darker in color, often nearly black but color is very dependent on the water. Algae laden waters produce greener gators. Waters with a lot of tannic acid from overhangiong trees are often darker. (although the Chinese alligator has some light patterning.) Also, in alligators only the upper teeth can be seen with the jaws closed (in contrast to true crocodiles, in which upper and lower teeth can be seen), though many individuals bear jaw deformities which complicate this means of identification.\n\nThe eyes of a large alligator will glow red and those of a smaller will glow green when a light is shined on them. This fact can be used to find alligators in the dark.\n\nAccording to the Everglades National Park website, the largest alligator ever recorded in Florida was 17 feet 5 inches long (5.3 meters). The largest alligator ever recorded measured 19 feet 2 inches (5.8 meters) and was found on Marsh Island, Louisiana.[1] Few of the giant specimens were weighed, but the larger ones could have exceeded a ton in weight.\n\nand\n\nCrocodile\nA crocodile is any species belonging to the family Crocodylidae (sometimes classified instead as the subfamily Crocodylinae). The term can also be used more loosely to include all members of the order Crocodilia: i.e. the true crocodiles, the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae) and the gharials (family Gavialidae). The crocodiles, colloquially called crocs, are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the Tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Crocodiles tend to congregate in freshwater habitats like rivers and lakes and wetlands and sometimes in brackish water. Some species, notably the Saltwater Crocodile of Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands often lives along the coastal areas as its name implies. It is also known to venture far out to sea. They mostly feed on a wide variety of vertebrates like fish, reptiles, and mammals, sometimes with invertebrates like mollusks and crustaceans, depending on species. They are an ancient lineage, and are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs.\n\nYou could get more information from the 2 links below...

Look up the Dragon and Serpent in Mythology. They are well known in the Aztec, Chinese and Japanese Mythology as well as many other ancient cultures.\nThere are bodies of water that some say water creatures like the one in Loch ness reside, some have written that they could be creatures of the dinosaur era, I mean if crocodiles/alligators have survived whats to say that others havent.\nWith Aliens, I am sure we are not alone in our galaxy and universe.
