No crocodiles are NOT dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs and crocodiles are however both archosaurian reptiles.
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. It does not mean that they are members of the group dinosauria.
Modern day birds on the other hand ARE dinosaurs.
Alligators and dinosaurs both belong to the archosaur group, which are a type of reptile. They share a common ancestor that lived over 250 million years ago. Despite evolving into different species over time, they both exhibit similar characteristics due to their shared evolutionary history.
In a sense, yes. Alligators are related to dinosaurs, or rather, are the only surviving dinosaurs that did not "evolve." Birds are also surviving dinosaurs, but they evolved from the larger, reptilian types of dinos. Alligators, and crocodiles, just got smaller. I know what you are thinking, "How does that answer the question? It asks if alligators are related to dragons, not dinosaurs." In ancient times, people referred to dinosaurs as dragons. Dragons are also mentioned in the Bible to refer to dinosaurs.
Yes. Crocodiles and birds are both archosaurs. This branch of animals once included crocodiles, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs. Birds branched off from the latter. This technically makes crocodiles more closely related to birds than they are to lizards and snakes.
The closest living relatives of crocodiles are birds and dinosaurs. Crocodiles, birds, and dinosaurs are all part of the larger group called Archosauria, which includes the ruling reptiles of the Mesozoic era. This group shares certain anatomical and genetic similarities.
Alligators and crocodiles use their tales to swim rapidly. They are able to propel themselves further in the water using the tail.
yes crocodiles and alligators are dinosaurs and some dinosaurs turned into birds
They are descended from archosaurs as dinosaurs are but an alligator is not a dinosaur.
Snakes gecko's Dinosaurs crocodiles alligators etc
NO. Alligators are not dinosaurs. They are related though. Dinosaurs, Alligators and Crododiles belong to a group called archosauria. The only descendants of dinosaurs alive today are birds.
No dinosaurs are not still alive there are some relatives of dinosaurs that have been alive since dinosaurs like alligators and crocodiles even tigers and elephants.

I am not quite sure but i do know that crocodiles are evolved from dinosaurs but i don't think alligators are. ??? from Megannn
Alligators and crocodiles would be considered cousins of the dinosaurs. Birds, by contrast, are more than just cousins of dinosaurs but are not classified as the only surviving dinosaurs.

Not like Jurassic park style, However many paleontologists classify birds as dinosaurs. Crocodiles and alligators are also dinosaur relatives though they are not dinosaurs.
There is no way of knowing what killed the dinosaurs millions of years ago. We don't know if it was by volcano, meteor, or an ice age.
They didn't but they do share a common ancestor. Looking at fossils, scientists have determined that bird evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs. Both dinosaurs and crocodiles stem from a group of reptiles called archosaurs.
