it is megalania

Megalania (Megalania prisca or Varanus priscus) is an extinct very large goanna or monitor lizard. They were part of a megafaunalassemblage that inhabited southern Australia during the Pleistocene. They seem to have disappeared between 40,000[2] and 30,000[3]years ago. The first aboriginal settlers of Australia might have encountered living Megalanias.[4]

Is a crocodile a amphibian or reptile?

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.

Are animals that swim or fly Dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs were land dwellers, though some probably could swim it was not their main form of locomotion. However in the time of the dinosaurs there were also two classes of marine reptile that are now extinct. There where Icthyosaurs, which resembled dolphins, and Plesiosaurs, which had paddles for limbs, but these were separate from dinosaurs. As to flying, there were also flying reptiles during that time called pterosaurs. Again these were a group of animals separate from, but related to dinosaurs. However, one group of flying animals than many scientists now consider to be a branch of dinosaurs are the birds.
