Cocodrilo o cocodillo
 
He encontrado estas dos palabras en muchos artículos diferentes en la Web sin ninguna explicación para la ortografía diferente. Sólo curioso.

Tambien caimanes y yacaré

Como siempre, gracias. Bob Ritter, Pensacola Florida, USA

cocodrilo in Spanish and coccodrillo in Italian. Other versions are very old spelling of we-give-a-darn modern spelling.

Cocodrilos are mostly Old World crocodiles (and a few species around the Caribbean), caimanes and yacarés are New World alligators (inspiring Wally Gator and Margarito Tereré)
