Are crocodiles a type of lizard?

Answer 1

Yes. They were all reptiles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifically, both the crocodilians and the dinosaurs are archosaurs ("ruling reptiles"), members of the clade Archosauria, which also includes the pterosaurs and many other related animals which are now extinct.

Answer 2

You're probably thinking of the phytosaurs. Unfortunately, they weren't really dinosaurs, though they lived alongside them.

The Baronyx ("heavy claw") had a head that greatly resembled a crocodile's.

Answer 3

The dinosaur that looks like a crocodile is"Baryonyx." Or just a crocodile?

Answer 4

Crocodiles and dinosaurs are both reptiles but two very different groups of reptiles.

Answer 5

No. They evolved from a common ancestor that they share with dinosaurs but are not themselves dinosaurs.

Answer 6

No. Although crocodiles and lizards are both reptiles, they are classified quite differently.

Answer 7

No, dinosaurs are part crocodile. They are both related, however, because they are both types of archosaurs.

Answer 8

No. Dinosaurs and crocodiles are related, but belong to two distinct groups. Dinosaurs are actually more closely related to birds than they are to crocodiles.

Answer 9

Both crocodiles and dinosaurs are archosaurs, so they are related. However, crocodiles are not dinosaurs.
