Is a chicken related to an alligator?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Alligators, like their cousins the crocodiles, are fearsome predators. While immature they are eaten by predators ranging from bullfrogs to herons, but once they've reached full size the only creatures that pose a threat to them are humans and other large alligators. Throughout their habitat, alligators will eat any birds or livestock they can catch, from cattle to chickens.

Answer 3

Alligators and crocodiles are indeed related, both to each other and to the caiman. All are members in good standing of the Order Crocodilia (Owen, 1842). A link is provided.

Answer 4
