Crocodiles, alligators, gharials & caimans are all of the same Crocodilia family. They evolved from marine crocodiles and, over time, divided and adapted to their habitats - the nile and saltwater crocodiles are big and muscular so that they can take down prey such as wildebeests, whereas others like the dwarf crocodile are small and nimble, enabling for swift and easy kills on smaller animals (and sometimes insects!) Hope that helped :)
