Well, there are different types of alligators with their own scientific names. The general family of alligators is called Alligatoridae, which is derived from the Spanish el lagarto(the lizard). The alligator is a crocodilia ind the genus Alligator.
The Spanish guys found the American alligator (alligator mississippiensis) while exploring around Florida; but there's also a Chinese alligator (alligator sinensis) which is smaller, but better armoured.
The alligator is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. There are two species -- the Alligator Mississippiensis or American alligator and the Alligator Sinensis or Chinese alligator.
