We still colloquially call them lagartos, regardless if its a crocodile or alligator.

Good to know! I took years of Spanish classes and my kids are in a Spanish immersion school in California, but I've only ever heard lagarto for smaller lizards and cocodrilo for anything resembling crocodilians

Thanks for the info

Yeah lagarto literally means lizard, but we use it for pretty much any type of reptilian that looks like a lizard lol
