Crocodylidae is cladistically defined as a crown group composed of the last common ancestor of the Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus), the Dwarf crocodile ( Osteolaemus tetraspis), and all of its descendants. [90] It contains two subfamilies: Crocodylinae and Osteolaeminae. [91] Crocodylinae contains 13-14 living species, as well as 6 extinct species. Osteolaeminae was named by Christopher Brochu in 2003 as a subfamily of Crocodylidae separate from Crocodylinae, [92] and contains the two extant genera Osteolaemus and Mecistops, along with several extinct genera. The number of extant species within Osteolaeminae is currently in question.

In a search for the largest crocodilian skulls in museums, the largest verifiable Nile crocodile skulls found were several housed in Arba Minch, Ethiopia, sourced from nearby Lake Chamo, which apparently included several specimens with a skull length more than 65cm (26in), with the largest one being 68.6cm (27.0in) in length with a mandibular length of 87cm (34in). Nile crocodiles with skulls this size are likely to measure in the range of 5.4 to 5.6m (17ft 9in to 18ft 4in), which is also the length of the animals according to the museum where they were found. However, larger skulls may exist, as this study largely focused on crocodilians from Asia. [9] [42] The detached head of an exceptionally large Nile crocodile (killed in 1968 and measuring 5.87m (19ft 3in) in length) was found to have weighed 166kg (366lb), including the large tendons used to shut the jaw.
