Right! A crocodile adapts to live in salt water, but it is still a crocodile, it does not "speciate".

at this point, spurred by this statement, I must ask: Do you know what a species is? Do you know what factor is the basic divider between species?

Yes, "species" is a category made up by mankind to help divide the animal and plant kingdom into groups to enable study. The distinguishness of species is determined by man, subject to change.
