Crocodile? Are you guys from Florida? In Europe we learned it as duck beak, it just makes much more sense, where are the teeth? Nowhere it's not an alligator mouth it's a beak

I'm from Europe and I learned it as a wale (and I'm from southern Europe)

In the pre-digital age when most of this was pencil markings, it was not uncommon to see someone had drawn the teeth in.

Nono, we don’t do math in Florida anymore. Also we’d be more likely to use “alligator” (tho we have plenty of both)

Nah fam, if your bird looks like that it's probably dead. I also learnt it as the crocodile in Germany
