Recent studies revealed that this is distinct species from the larger Nile crocodile. [17] [18] It has a slightly narrower snout and is much smaller compared to its larger cousin.

The form crocodrillus is attested in Medieval Latin. [5] It is not clear whether this is a medieval corruption or derives from alternative Greco-Latin forms (late Greek corcodrillos and corcodrillion are attested). A (further) corrupted form cocodrille is found in Old French and was borrowed into Middle English as cocodril(le). The Modern English form crocodile was adapted directly from the Classical Latin crocodīlus in the 16th century, replacing the earlier form. The use of -y- in the scientific name Crocodylus (and forms derived from it) is a corruption introduced by Laurenti (1768). Robert W. Meredith; Evon R. Hekkala; George Amato; John Gatesy (2011).

Crocodiles ( Crocodilus) and hatchlings. The young produce sounds that are recognized by the mother (more) See all videos for this article Like all crocodiles, they are sexually dimorphic, with the males up to 30% larger than the females, though the difference is considerably less compared to some species, like the saltwater crocodile. Male Nile crocodiles are about 30 to 50cm (12 to 20in) longer on average at sexual maturity and grow more so than females after becoming sexually mature, especially expanding in bulk after exceeding 4m (13ft 1in) in length. [32] [50] Adult male Nile crocodiles usually range in length from 3.3 to 5.0m (10ft 10in to 16ft 5in) long; at these lengths, an average sized male may weigh from 150 to 750kg (330 to 1,650lb). [10] [48] [51] [52] [53] Very old, mature ones can grow to 5.5m (18ft 1in) or more in length (all specimens over 5.5m (18ft 1in) from 1900 onward are cataloged later). [8] [9] [54] Large mature males can reach 1,000kg (2,200lb) or more in weight. [55] Mature female Nile crocodiles typically measure 2.2 to 3.8m (7ft 3in to 12ft 6in), at which lengths the average female specimen would weigh 40 to 250kg (88 to 551lb). [10] [48] [32] [56]
