Banco Chinchorro crocodile
Proposed species of crocodile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banco Chinchorro crocodiles, populations of crocodiles living in Banco Chinchorro, were originally thought to be populations of American crocodiles. However, it is now believed they may be a separate species. The possibility was first introduced in a 2025 report, although the species has not been formally named.[1]
