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.
