Crocodilian Species - Orinoco Crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) Reproductive ecology of the Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) in Venezuela. Recent investigations of the status and distribution of the Orinoco crocodile, Crocodylus intermedius, in Venezuela. Crocodylus is derived from the Greek krokodeilos which means literally "pebble worm" (kroko = pebble; deilos = worm, or man) referring to the appearance of a crocodile. www.flmnh.ufl.edu /natsci/herpetology/brittoncrocs/csp_cint.htm   (940 words)

RedNova News - Combined support for wholesale taxic atavism in Gavialine crocodylians Five higher level taxa and associated species were sampled for DNA characters: Alligatoroidea: Caiman crocodilus, Caiman latirostris, Melanosuchus niger, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, Paleosuchus trigonatus, Alligator sinensis, and Alligator mississippiensis; Crocodylinae: Crocodylus rhombifer, Crocodylus intermedius, Crocodylus cataphractus, and Osteolaemus tetraspis; Gavialinae: Gavialis gangeticus; Tomistominae: Tomistoma schlegelii; Aves: Gallus gallus and Struthio camelus. The combined evidence topology implied that square/equant osteoderms instead were independently derived from rectangular osteoderms within Alligatoroidea and Crocodylinae. Thus, within the combined evidence framework, some of the strong morphological support for Crocodylinae + T. schlegelii (double decay BS = +15) was reinterpreted as unequivocal, albeit homoplastic, synapomorphies for a more inclusive grouping of Crocodylinae + T. schlegelii + G. gangeticus. www.rednova.com /news/stories/2/2003/07/10/story118.html   (940 words)

Crocodilian Species - Orinoco Crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) Reproductive ecology of the Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) in Venezuela. intermedius retreats into burrows (excavated from river banks in areas where small areas of water remain) during this period, although it may also move overland in search of deeper stretches of water. The Orinoco crocodile is one of the larger crocodilian species, with historical records of animals reportedly reaching 6 and even 7 metres (unconfirmed). www.flmnh.ufl.edu /natsci/herpetology/brittoncrocs/csp_cint.htm   (940 words)

Venezuela's largest croc "El Munstruo" alive and well in the Orinoco River that three months of information has been collected about the habits of Venezuela's 15 foot (4.7 meter) long Orinoco Crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius), nicknamed "El Munstruo" since it was transferred to an environmentally-friendly area close to the Rio Orinoco for its own and public safety... Contact was lost for twelve days after "El Munstro" entered the main Orinoco River, but nerves were restored after signals indicated that the crocodile had returned to Laguna Ancha, its preferred home. "El Munstruo" is the largest freshwater Orinoco crocodile to ever be captured and released in Venezuela and is listed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) as Appendix I, the most critically endangered classification. www.vheadline.com /printer_news.asp?id=11062   (222 words)
