The dinosaurs died out because of starvation. Crocodiles survived the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs for two reasons.

  1. They are cold blooded, so they eat less.
  2. They are capable of lowering their metabolism and going as long as a year without food.

Climate conditions have changed considerably from when dinosaurs were believed to have roamed the earth, but it's possible that certain species could still exist, having adapted to the changes through the centuries.There have been enough sightings of unusually large creatures through the years to raise the question of whether or not dinosaurs still exist. For scientific purposes, however, it seems the dinosaurs' closest living reptile is not the crocodile, as many imagine, but in fact the tuatara of New Zealand.
