In general, frogs have longer (jumping-type) legs, smoother skin, and prefer wet areas. Toads have shorter, stubbier legs, bumpy skin, and prefer dry areas.

Gorillas are part of the Great Apes family. Apes don't have tails. Monkeys have tails.

Alligators have wider, sorta rounded-shaped snouts and crocodiles have narrow, kinda pointed snouts. Other differences, of course, but that's the most recognizable.

What can I say? I used to be a tom-boy and was fascinated by stuff like that.
