Answer 3

There are between 23 and 30 species of living crocodylian, depending on how some groups are split up - crocodiles, caimans, alligators, gharials.

(Addendum to one of the comments above - Diplocynodontinae is not within Alligatoridae.  I know wikipedia says it is, but it isn't - and I should know, since I came up with the name Diplocynodontinae in the first place in 1999!

Also - whether false gharials are gavialoids or crocodylids is controversial.)
