West African crocodile
The West African crocodile〔(''Crocodylus suchus'' ), The Reptile Database〕 or desert crocodile (''Crocodylus suchus'') is a species of crocodile related to – and often confused with – the Nile crocodile (''C. niloticus'').
==Taxonomy==
The species was named by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1807, who discovered differences between the skulls of a mummified crocodile and those of ''C. niloticus''. This new species was, however, for a long time afterwards regarded as a synonym of the Nile crocodile, but a 2011 study showed that all sampled mummified crocodiles from Egypt belonged to a different species than ''C. niloticus'', and thereby resurrected the name ''C. suchus''.〔(Nile crocodile is two species ), Nature.com〕
