Pixel Puzzler #3: The Great Reveal

We’ve gotten tons of great guesses on Part 1 and Part 2 of the Pixel Puzzler, and now it’s time for Part 3. Are you ready for the great reveal and to find out if you got it right?

The answer to this Pixel Puzzler is (drum roll please) ALLIGATOR!

Did you know that…
– Alligators belong to the order “crocodilia” along with crocodiles and caimans.
– One way to tell an alligator from a crocodile is by the shape of their snout. Alligators’ snouts are wider and U-shaded, while crocodiles’ snouts are more pointed and V-shaped.
– Another way to tell them apart is by their teeth. When a crocodile’s mouth is closed, you can see teeth pointing up and down, but with an alligator, you can only see the ones pointing down.
– There are two living alligator species: the American alligator and Chinese alligator
– An alligator’s jaw is so strong, it can crack a turtle’s shell.
