Jurassosaurus's Reptipage: Crocodylidae
The CROCODYLIDAE consists of the true crocodiles. These animals are characterized by having relatively slender jaws, a triangular snout, both the upper and
lower teeth visible and the most important thing, the fourth tooth in the lower jaw being visible. In crocodylians the fourth tooth of the lower jaw is always the largest.
They are the equivalant of the fangs in a tiger and like tiger fangs, these teeth are set in a special part of the mouth. In the crocodylids this special part is a groove on
the outside of the upper jaw. [eng]

Crocodylidae
All crocodiles are more or less aquatic. They are usually excellent swimmers, but some can even gallop on land (Crocodylus johnsoni). Alligatorids inhabit
rivers, lakes, swamps, and lagoons (except for Paleosuchus which inhabits small rivers and pools of forested areas of the Amazon area). Alligator
mississippiensis even enters coastal marine waters. [eng]
