Pronunciation: [kɹˈɒkədˌɪlɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
Crocodylidae is a family of large, semi-aquatic reptiles commonly known as crocodiles. This word is specific to this family, but there are other words that can be used as synonyms for crocodile such as alligator, caiman, or gavial. These synonyms are often used interchangeably, but they do have some differences. Alligators, for example, have a more rounded snout and tend to live in freshwater habitats, while crocodiles have a longer, more pointed snout and can live in both freshwater and saltwater habitats. Caimans are similar to alligators but are generally smaller and found in Central and South America, while gavials have a very distinct long, narrow snout and are found in India and Southeast Asia.
