Nile crocodiles usually dive for only a few minutes at a time, but can swim under water up to 30 minutes if threatened. If they remain fully inactive, they can hold their breath for up to 2 hours (which, as aforementioned, is due to the high levels of lactic acid in their blood). [19] They have a rich vocal range and good hearing. Nile crocodiles normally crawl along on their bellies, but they can also "high walk" with their trunks raised above the ground. Smaller specimens can gallop, and even larger individuals are capable of occasional, surprising bursts of speed, briefly reaching up to 14km/h (8.7mph). [10] [88] They can swim much faster, moving their bodies and tails in a sinuous fashion, and they can sustain this form of movement much longer than on land, with a maximum known swimming speed of 30 to 35km/h (19 to 22mph), more than three times faster than any human.

Crocodiles are cleverer than previously thought: Some crocodiles use lures to hunt their prey". ScienceDaily. 4 December 2013 . Retrieved 8 December 2013. Crocodylidae is cladistically defined as a crown group composed of the last common ancestor of the Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus), the Dwarf crocodile ( Osteolaemus tetraspis), and all of its descendants. [90] It contains two subfamilies: Crocodylinae and Osteolaeminae. [91] Crocodylinae contains 13-14 living species, as well as 6 extinct species. Osteolaeminae was named by Christopher Brochu in 2003 as a subfamily of Crocodylidae separate from Crocodylinae, [92] and contains the two extant genera Osteolaemus and Mecistops, along with several extinct genera. The number of extant species within Osteolaeminae is currently in question.

In a search for the largest crocodilian skulls in museums, the largest verifiable Nile crocodile skulls found were several housed in Arba Minch, Ethiopia, sourced from nearby Lake Chamo, which apparently included several specimens with a skull length more than 65cm (26in), with the largest one being 68.6cm (27.0in) in length with a mandibular length of 87cm (34in). Nile crocodiles with skulls this size are likely to measure in the range of 5.4 to 5.6m (17ft 9in to 18ft 4in), which is also the length of the animals according to the museum where they were found. However, larger skulls may exist, as this study largely focused on crocodilians from Asia. [9] [42] The detached head of an exceptionally large Nile crocodile (killed in 1968 and measuring 5.87m (19ft 3in) in length) was found to have weighed 166kg (366lb), including the large tendons used to shut the jaw. [8] Biting force [ edit ] The form crocodrillus is attested in Medieval Latin. [5] It is not clear whether this is a medieval corruption or derives from alternative Greco-Latin forms (late Greek corcodrillos and corcodrillion are attested). A (further) corrupted form cocodrille is found in Old French and was borrowed into Middle English as cocodril(le). The Modern English form crocodile was adapted directly from the Classical Latin crocodīlus in the 16th century, replacing the earlier form. The use of -y- in the scientific name Crocodylus (and forms derived from it) is a corruption introduced by Laurenti (1768). Loveridge, J. P., & Blake, D. K. (1972).
