Can you tell the age of an alligator by the size of its teeth?

The size of an alligator's teeth does not provide a reliable way to determine its age. However, the teeth of alligators can help distinguish between juveniles and adults. Juvenile alligators have sharper teeth, while adult alligators have flatter teeth that are more suited for crushing and grinding their food.

Age determination in alligators is typically done by examining their growth rings on their bones or scales. Counting the number of rings can provide an approximate age of the alligator, but this method is not always precise.
