All 29 currently recognized and described crocodilian species as of 2023

[Cenozoic Fauna]

Currently there are 29 know crocodilians species known so far, and many more to be described, and other unknown undocumented species living in remote parts of the world, will showcase the photos of the most recently discovered species.

 American alligator (A. mississippiensis)

Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

black caiman (Melanosuchus niger)

broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)

 spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus)

 yacare caiman (Caiman yacare)

Cuvier's dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus)

smooth-fronted caiman (Paleosuchus trigonatus)



American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)

Morelet's crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii)

 Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius)

 Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer)

 Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus)

 West African crocodile (crocodylus suchus)




West African slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops cataphractus)

 Central African slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops leptorhynchus)




African dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis)

Congo dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus osborni)


West African dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus frontatus)






Mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris)

Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus)

Malaysian gharial  (Tomistoma schlegelii)

Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis)

saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus)

 freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni)

 Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis)

 New Guinea crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae)

Hall's New Guinea crocodile (Crocodylus halli)



Borneo crocodile (crocodylus raninus)
Also don't have photo unfortunately but I do have footage of crocodylus raninus in captivity

And its likely the brown caiman a sub species of spectacled caiman will be revaluated as a distinct species
Same for the Antillean population of American crocodiles perhaps, and the genus paleosuchus as well. And there could be another species of osteolaemus possibly  as as well. And other unknown undocumented species mentioned by people in remote regions, cryptid crocs, and also in older literature as well. Likely new species in the Congo region of Africa and species likely related to osteolaemus are reported, also alot of other cryptid crocodiles as well to. Will at some point make a post about these unknown cryptid crocodile species reported in Africa, south east Asia, and so forth. There are quite intriguing reports.

Ey, but let's keep producing Nile crocodiles and american alligators ONLY!

Understandable  though it would be cool if all of these got a figure made. Cuban crocodile and a saltwater crocodile would be awesome to!
Cuban crocs being the most terrestrial and also having cool horns


Also saltwater crocodiles being the largest species have ridges on there skull

I didn't know the Cuban crocodile had those horns!  The image before that of the Cuban crocodile is of Kaprosuchus.  I too would be interested in more species of crocodilians being made into figures.

Indeed! They have the most prominent and largest squamosal horns of any crocodilians, and the ones at the guama crocodile farm have even more expressed and features, some even look like voay robustus!

A very recently extinct species of horned crocodile from Madagascar that was very robust, and had robust limbs and was a more terrestrial species that was related to dwarf crocodiles.

Also Cuban crocodiles used to live in fully terrestrial ecosystems in the past in the Bahamas, and Dominican Republic, and we're also present on the Cayman Islands as well. And they used to hunt late surviving ground sloths on these islands on land and pack hunting has been reported from this species.

Also will probably post about Cuban crocodiles, and there unique adaptations and terrestrial ecological significance. Also they are the best and fastest gallopers! Can even do a rotary and transverse gallop. Will have to post videos on Cuban crocs galloping as well, and a paper which studies the stable isotopic data of Cuban crocodile bones found in blue holes which finds that the Cuban crocodiles were living in terrestrial rather than an aquatic food web in the Bahamas and Dominican Republic.

  Also indeed true, there hasn't been that many crocodilian figures, and most are usually inaccurate, would be cool to see some really detailed modeled crocodilian figures, southlands replicas was supposed to release a saltwater crocodile figure which looked incredible, but due to costs and the timing of things, couldnt produce the figure, but they are working with mojo fun now, and could release there unreleased saltwater crocodile for the line someday, they also released there perentie figure for mojo fun which is pretty cool to.

There are a few Cuban crocodile figures, a baby one by Yowie Group (which I reviewed) and then one that forum member @Saarlooswolfhound just discovered and started a thread about, link below. There's also a Chap Mei one and one from Play Visions but they're not great, or readily available.

Yowie Cuban crocodile. It's not much but beggars can't be choosers.
