CO OZNACZA SŁOWO CROCODILE
Krokodyl
Krokodyle lub prawdziwe krokodyle to duże żyjące w wodach gadów, żyjące w tropikach w Afryce, Azji, obu Amerykach i Australii. Krokodylina, w której wszystkie jego członkowie są uważane za prawdziwe krokodyle, jest klasyfikowana jako podrodzina biologiczna. W tym artykule nie stosuje się szerszego pojęcia krokodyla, Crocodylidae, które obejmuje Tomistoma. Określenie krokodyla dotyczy tu tylko gatunków w obrębie podrodziny Crocodylinae. Określenie czasami jest używane jeszcze bardziej luźno w celu włączenia wszystkich obecnych członków rzędu Crocodilia, w tym Tomistoma, aligatorów i kamyków, gharials i wszystkich innych żywych i skamieniałych Crocodylomorpha. Choć wydają się one podobne do niewykwalifikowanego oka, krokodyle, aligatory i gharial należą do oddzielnych rodzin biologicznych. Odbarwienie o wąskim pysku jest łatwiej odróżniać, a różnice morfologiczne są trudniejsze do zauważenia w krokodylach i aligatorach. Najbardziej oczywiste różnice zewnętrzne są widoczne w głowie krokodyle o węższych i dłuższych głowicach, o bardziej w kształcie litery V niż w kształcie litery U w porównaniu do aligatorów i kajmanów.

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.'
