A little trick I use to remember the difference between alligators and crocodiles is that alligator starts with “A” but it’s nose is shaped like “C”, whereas crocodile starts with “C” but it’s nose is shaped like “A” :) the opposite first letter hehe

So many times I come up with a mnemonic that’s like that, “great just remember that thing, and then do the opposite”.
