Legarto en Mexico.

Cuando hablaba con una amiga de Mexico, Vi un legarto (lizard in English) Me digo legarto y ella me dice legarto es un alligator en English.
Si legarto es un alligator entonces que es la palabra por lizard? Todos de mis diccionarios se dicen legarto es lizard y caimán es alligator.
Creo comprender la español de Mexico

The English word "alligator" is derived from "el lagarto" - a sight first seen by the Spanish in what is now Florida. - padrin, May 26, 2015
