==Taxonomy and etymology==
Morelet's crocodile was discovered in Mexico in 1850〔(【引用サイトリンク】first =Adam. )〕 and named after the French naturalist who made the discovery, Pierre Marie Arthur Morelet (1809–1892).〔〔Beolens, B.; Watkins, M.; Grayson, M. (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Crocodylus moreletii'', pp. 182-183).〕 It was long confused with the American and Cuban crocodiles because of similar characteristics and an ambiguous type locality. It was not generally accepted as a separate species until the 1920s.
