<human>: What are the most important differences between the hippo and the crocodile?
<bot>: The hippopotamus is a larger animal than the crocodile, with males reaching up to 13 feet long. It has a distinctive black-and-white coloration that helps it blend into its habitat of swamps and rivers. Crocodiles have a more slender body shape, and they tend to be darker in color. They also have longer snouts and sharper teeth than hippos.
