QUÉ SIGNIFICA CROCODILE EN INGLÉS
Cocodrilo
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.
