The closest living relatives of crocodiles are other members of the order Crocodilia, the alligators, gharials and caiman . After that, they are most closely related to their distant archosaurian cousins, the birds, and after that other reptiles such as snakes and lizards (they're probably more distantly related to turtles and their kin, though, as turtles are believed to be anapsids and all of the previously mentioned animals are diapsids). Note that crocodiles are related to quite a large number of now exinct animals, such as the Mesozoic and early Quaternary members of their clade (Crurotarsi), including the Champsosaurs, the herbivorous Aetosaurs, the fully terrestrial Rauisuchians, the marine Thalattosuchians and so on.
