Crocodilurus is a monotypic lizard genus consisting of one species, the crocodile tegu (Crocodilurus amazonicus), belonging to the family Teiidae (tegus, ameivas and whiptails). Its common name is the 'crocodile' tegu, due to its appearance and fondness for water, and is locally known as the jacarerana. This semi-aquatic, predatory lizard has a flattened, paddle-like tail, enabling it to swim with ease.[1][5]
