No, they actually thrive. This is because the crocodilians is a group of animals like mammals and reptiles. crocodiles, gavials, alligators and caimans are crocodilians. And we all know that they still live on our planet, and lived millions of years ago, probably before even the dinosaurs! The reason they weren't extinct with the dinosaurs is because they swam in the oceans and hid from the great extinction. When it as over, they went back on land and fed on anything they could, just like the mice-like creatures hiding in the ground.

Is the Crocodile really a descendant of the dinosaur?
Crocodilians are distantly related to the dinosaurs in that they are both Archosaurs, but the former definitely are not descended from the Dinosaurs. They are both members of what is known as a ''crown group'' (the Archosauria). This refers back to a long-extinct bevy of Reptiles that includes the common ancestor of the two living archosaurs -- crocodilians and birds -- and the extinct avian and non-avian dinosaurs. In short, they are related only in that they (crocodilians and dinosaurs) both evolved from the same ancestral reptile.
