Topic: Crocodylus niloticus


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Nile crocodile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The binomial name Crocodylus niloticus is derived from the Greek kroko ("pebble"), deilos ("worm", or "man"), referring to its rough skin; and niloticus, meaning "from the Nile River".
Crocodylus niloticus covers a wide range, and there are significant differences between the various populations.
The first major modern treatise on a crocodylian was Hugh B. Cott's paper "Scientific results of an inquiry into the ecology and economic status of the Nile crocodile (Crocodilus niloticus) in Uganda" (Transactions of the Zoological Society of London 29: 211-358).

Unlike the noticeably blunt-snouted American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), the only crocodilian indigenous to Mississippi, the snout of Crocodylus niloticus is more pointed, with a larger number of teeth conspicuously protruding from the mouth when closed (Neill, 1971; Ross and Magnusson, 1989; Branch, 1993, 1998).
niloticus remains the extensive, detailed study by Cott (1961); however, other contributions and summaries can be found in Neill (1971), Guggisberg (1972), Pooley and Gans (1976), Graham (1990), Allen (1998), Branch (1998), and a variety of studies compiled in Webb et al.
Crocodylus niloticus is an omnicarnivorous, primarily aquatic, predator that eats fish, turtles and other reptiles, small and large mammals (including zebra and buffalo), birds, carrion, invertebrates and any other animal it can overpower, swallow whole or rip apart, and ingest (Roosevelt, 1909; Cansdale, 1955; Cott, 1961; Grenard, 1991; Branch, 1993, 1998; Lamar, 1997).

The active and initial definition for Prestosuchidae identifies a clade with the nominotypical species Prestosuchus chiniquensis as an internal specifier.
Several external specifiers (Rauisuchus tiradentes, Aetosaurus ferratus, Poposaurus gracilis, Crocodylus niloticus) ensure that only taxa most closely related to Prestosuchus will be included.

 Description
So, officially, the name Crocodylus niloticus belongs to the smooth-fronted caiman.
Obviously, C niloticus would cause such confusion, so Paleosuchus trigonatus stands.
Paleosuchus palpebrosus was described in 1807 by Cuvier, as Crocodylus palpebrosus.

 Nile Crocodile
The Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), like all members of the Family Crocodylidae, has a notch in the upper jaw on each side that holds the 4th tooth in the lower jaw when the mouth is closed.
It also possesses salt glands on the tongue to excrete excess salts.
