A
fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the "
Did you know?" column on
December 3, 2013. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that a
crocodilian can replace each of its
teeth up to 50 times during its lifetime? | |||||||||||||

level-4 vital article is rated FA-class on Wikipedia's

The article refers in a couple of places to "eight species" of crocodilians that are known to have attacked humans, but then goes on to list nine: saltwater crocodiles, Nile crocodiles, American alligators, black caimans, Morelet's crocodiles, mugger crocodiles, American crocodiles, gharials, and freshwater crocodiles. 184.36.83.153 ( talk) 04:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Re footnote 3, I would think "pebble worm" simply refers to the animal's appearance. Sergevan ( talk) 16:23, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that the English version of this page doesn’t have link to the Japanese page in the language bar. Nothing that’s a big deal, but I just thought it should be pointed out.
I'm not sure that recent changes to the etymology are correct reflections of the sources cited. In particular, the association of authors with etymologies is close to crossing the line to WP:OR: we should consider reverting these changes if they cannot be substantiated with direct quotations or more precise citations. To be clear, 1) the authors certainly existed and certainly created names; 2) the names seem to derive from Latin and Greek. What is not certain is that author1 used etymology1 and author2 used etymology2, this could be OR. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 20:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Tlaltecuhtli is NOT a sea monster in Aztec mythology. Read the linked article. This text should go. Senor Cuete ( talk) 20:32, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

There had at some point in the past been such a section, for which there is an existing Wikipedia redirect last edited on 25 October 2010. Since following a link there now leads generically to this page, and since this is a common point of confusion, I created such a section in my last edit. User:LittleJerry reverted it on the basis that the information it contained was already present in the article. While that's largely true, it was also scattered about in a way that would have required a general audience reader reviewing the entire article and taking notes when he/she came across differences, and making a judgement call about which were most salient. A dedicated section that centralizes and ranks these differences seems appropriate, and I would like to revert the reversion. Mikalra ( talk) 18:00, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Now the same section is present on two pages - Crocodile and Alligatoridae. Currently they are identical except for the tag I've just added; they are liable to be edited divergently. As such, we need to resolve this duplication somehow. Options I can see:

The infobox gives an origin date of 83.5 million years ago, while the first paragraph says 95 million years ago... AnonMoos ( talk) 21:30, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
I think some very short information on this study should probably be added to the article (and/or possibly another, related one). It's currently featured in 2021 in science like so:
- Scientists conclude that environmental factors played a major role in the evolution of the slowly-evolving, currently low-diverse Crocodilia (and their ancestor-relatives), with warmer climate being associated with high evolutionary rates and large body sizes. [1] [2]
I uploaded some of the images of this study to WMCommons.

" The crocodilian penis is permanently erect and relies on cloacal muscles for eversion and elastic ligaments and a tendon for recoil.[17]"
I don't think that this is correct. It's non-erectile rather than being erectile and in the permanently erect state. S C Cheese ( talk) 09:57, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
I believe it's been proposed that testudines are also members of the archosaur clade. it may be worth mentioning instead of just saying that the only extant lineages are crocodilians and birds. 2600:387:F:4211:0:0:0:9 ( talk) 17:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
