What is another word for order Crocodylia?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔːdə kɹˌɒkədˈɪli͡ə] (IPA) 
The order Crocodylia, which includes crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials, is often referred to as the order of crocodilians. These amphibious reptiles are characterized by their long, powerful jaws with sharp teeth, thick armored skin, and a muscular tail that helps them swim and maneuver in water. While they may look similar, each species has unique physical and behavioral characteristics that distinguish them from one another. For example, alligators have a wider, rounded snout than crocodiles, and gharials have a long narrow snout with elongated teeth. Despite their fearsome reputation, crocodilians play an important role in many ecosystems, maintaining a balance of predator and prey.
