Hi Vireak! It's mostly about the shape of their mouths! Crocodiles have a V-shaped snout and are usually more aggressive. Alligators have a wider U-shaped snout. 🐊

It means they get the largest or biggest part of something! If there's a pizza and your brother eats six slices and leaves you two, he took the lion's share! 🦁🍕
