  Digimorph - Crocodylus moreletii (Morelet's crocodile)
Crocodylus moreletii is one of four currently recognized species of New World Crocodylus, the genus that includes nearly half of the worlds’ extant species of crocodylians.
Crocodylus moreletii was restored to scientific acceptance by Karl Schmidt (1924), who demonstrated that these animals are indeed found in Belize (then British Honduras), and are distinct from the American crocodile, also found in that country.

 Crocodile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crocodiles are more closely related to birds and dinosaurs than to most animals classified as reptiles (though all of these are thought to probably be more closely related to each other than to Testudines (turtles and tortoises)), and have correspondingly unusual features for reptiles, such as a four-chambered heart.
