QUÉ SIGNIFICA CROCODILE EN INGLÉS

Cocodrilo

Crocodile

Los cocodrilos o cocodrilos verdaderos son reptiles acuáticos grandes que viven a través de los trópicos en África, Asia, las Américas y Australia. Crocodylinae, en la que todos sus miembros son considerados verdaderos cocodrilos, se clasifica como una subfamilia biológica. Un sentido más amplio del término cocodrilo, Crocodylidae que incluye Tomistoma, no se utiliza en este artículo. El término cocodrilo aquí se aplica sólo a la especie dentro de la subfamilia de Crocodylinae. El término se utiliza a veces incluso más flojo para incluir todos los miembros existentes de la orden Crocodilia, que incluye Tomistoma, los caimanes, los gharials, y todos los otros Crocodylomorpha vivos y fósiles. Aunque parecen ser similares al ojo inexperto, los cocodrilos, los caimanes y el gharial pertenecen a familias biológicas separadas. El gharial que tiene un hocico estrecho es más fácil de distinguir, mientras que las diferencias morfológicas son más difíciles de detectar en cocodrilos y caimanes. Las diferencias externas más obvias son visibles en la cabeza con los cocodrilos que tienen cabezas más estrechas y más largas, con un hocico más en forma de V que en forma de U en comparación con los caimanes y los caimanes.

Crocodiles or true crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Crocodylinae, in which all its members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies only to the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes Tomistoma, the alligators and caimans, the gharials, and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear to be similar to the untrained eye, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial having a narrow snout is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans.

I like solitude. I'm very good at being disconnected. I do a lot of disappearing. People who know me go, 'Oh yeah, Mailman, she's gone into her cave again.'
