The enormous, fourth tooth in the lower jaw of a gator, finds a way into an attachment in the upper jaw and isn't apparent when the gator's mouth is shut. This doesn't occur in crocodiles. Alligators have somewhere in the range of 74 andto 80 teeth in their mouth at a time. As they wear out, they are supplanted. A crocodile can go through 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
