Crocodile skull The order Crocodylia consists of 23 species of crocodiles, alligators, caimans and the gavial. All members of this order are aquatic but have the ability to bask, nest and feed on land. Most crocodilians inhabit tropical or sub-tropical regions of the world. Crocodiles first appeared nearly 160 million years ago and have changed very little since. |
