Crocodyloidea
Superfamily of crocodiles / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crocodyloidea is one of three superfamilies of crocodilians, the other two being Alligatoroidea and Gavialoidea, and it includes the crocodiles. Crocodyloidea may also include the extinct Mekosuchinae,[1][2] native to Australasia from the Eocene to the Holocene, although this is disputed.[3][4]
