Crocodiles and other reptiles are not dinosaurs. The family of reptiles separated from the animals that became dinosaurs several hundred million years ago and existed from that time, through the age of dinosaurs to the present. Dinosaurs evolved becoming warm blooded and to some extent covered with feathers. Reptiles remained cold blooded and scaly. The only living descendants of dinosaurs today are the birds.Crocodiles are, however more closely related to dinosaurs (and birds) than they are to most other reptiles, being members of the Archosauria.
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. There are approximately twice as many birds species than there are mammals.)Birds are therefore Crocodiles closest living relatives. 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.
