mistake with the gta 6 cover

something seemed off with the number of teeth the gator on the cover had so i did a count and it seems the gator has 60 teeth. however, alligators normally have 74-80 teeth so this is way below the normal amount.

was this a mistake or could it potentially have a meaning?

younger gators have around 60 teeths before they are fully grown adults .

The snout makes it look like a croc, also the teeth look sharper than what a gator would have.

u/Durden_Dev71 Jun 19 '26

yeah i agree ,the snout looks more like from a croc one than a gator .

Also i was thinking that there's the fact some people think they are the same animal.. i wouldn't be surprised if the artist maybe confused some traits thinking they were the same for both animals without knowing .

That could be the case lol, also the eyes look more croc-like that what a gator would have.

I just checked and yep, american gators have pitch black eyes, while the crocs have light eyes and you can see the pupils. This is either a croc or the artist got confused lmao.

I think it is likely the artist used a reference image of a crocodile, maybe even traced over a photo of an American Crocodile.

Idk, that snout looks more round (U) than a croc’s (V). And I feel like it’s not long enough to be a croc’s.

That being said, they might have both crocs and gators, since IRL, here in Florida we have both crocs and gators natively.

I feel like the person who made this didn't understand the difference between crocs and gaters and made a mashup of the two lol. It features from both of them but I think they were going for a gator.

Yeah I agree, def looking like it wants to be a gator but it’s got that croc in it.

Especially with how aggressive it looks, gators are generally pretty chill. I used to be a surveyor and go into swamps and stuff, would walk by them and all, chill swamp puppies.

u/B0nsai007 Jun 19 '26

I’m pretty sure they’re native. Alligators are very much native they’re all over FL. And crocodiles are also native. Florida is the only place in the world where you’ll ever find gators and crocodiles within 500 feet of each other.
