Not like Jurassic park style, However many paleontologists classify birds as dinosaurs. Crocodiles and alligators are also dinosaur relatives though they are not dinosaurs.
Are alligators and crocodiles dinosaurs?
No crocodiles are NOT dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and crocodiles are however both archosaurian reptiles. Crocodiles are somtimes refered to as ''living dinosaurs''.

Modern day birds on the other hand ARE dinosaurs.
What are the crocodiles relatives?
Crocodiles and other members of the group crocodilia are the dinosaurs closest living relatives.Crocodiles are somtimes refered to as ''living dinosaurs'', this is based on the idea that their anatomy hasn't changed much over millions of years. Crocodiles are not however dinosaurs themselves.Modern day Birds on the other hand ARE dinosaurs.Birds are a type of maniraptorian theropod dinosaur. Birds are the only dinosaur group to survive the mass extinction ~65million years ago. So therefore dinosaurs are Not extinct. (and they are doing quite well.

And vise versa.Crocodiles and dinosaurs (+birds) are both members of the group Archosauria.Yes, both dinosaurs and crocodilians are archosaurs (the "ruling reptiles", they belong to the clade Archosauria, along with pterosaurs and some other closely related, but extinct, animals) and are therefore fairly closely related. Crocodiles however are NOT dinosaurs, nor did they evolve from dinosaurs (or vice versa) - they are simply related to them.
What kind of dinosaurs live in the mesozoic era?
The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. During the early Triassic, corals appeared. Seed plants dominated the land, in the northern hemisphere, conifers flourished. Glossopteris was the dominant southern hemisphere tree during the Triassic period. Many new dinosaurs appeared during the Jurassic period. Giant plant eating dinosaurs dominated the Earth. carnivores such as Allosaurus and Composognathus were plentiful. Many bird-like dinosaurs also thrived during this period. The Cretaceous period saw the heyday of the dinosaurs. Many new species of dinosaurs evolved during this period. New dinosaurs such as, the deadly t-rex and the extremely large Giganotosaurus appeared for the first time as did Triceratops and many others.
How many dinosaurs were living during the mesozoic era?
100 types of dinosaurs lived during the mesozoic era.

Birds are warm blooded.
How many dinosaurs are yet to be discovered?
Approximately 700 Species have been named. Alligators and Crocodiles ARE NOT dinosaurs! However, Birds are largely considered to be the ancestors of saurischian dinosaurs and therefore could be said to be dinosaurs.
