It has all the features of aloe. Looks just like it.
It looks like one but it could just be in the same family.

Climbing aloe ciliaris maybe I have this same one but smaller
This plant is an aloe vera plant.
The first picture is bromeliad, not aloe vera plant. They look similar but are not.
the second picture is an aloe Vera plant, as you can see the second has rib ridges, this the indicator that it is aloe vera plant. Another way also to tell is by slicing a piece off. If it oozes gooey transparent thick gooey film then it’s aloe Vera plant.
I use mine for burns, works great! I have several of them and that one in the second picture is one of my small ones! And they do multiply like a bunny!
Celestrialangel is correct: it IS in the aloe family—from South Africa but becoming popular here in the US. Aloe veras have many different cousins! A. ciliaris is a fun one.
