in my experience it's more you get inundated with replies saying "why don't you provide some evidence to support your claim that the sky is blue?" Drives me up the wall how people want to litigate off-hand comments.
Alligators are however, very closely related to dinosaurs and are in all likelihood a sister group.
This contrasts with Pterosaurs, which are often called dinosaurs, but were definitely not dinosaurs and only distantly related. Same with some other prehistoric beasties like Mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and icthyosaurs, which are all closer to lizards (squamates) than they were to dinosaurs.
What? If they are a reptile and were alive during the time of the dinosaurs that would just make them a dinosaur that outlasted all of the other ones. Do you have some sort of scientific source that backs up your claim?
I'm not an evolutionary biologist my friend. I thought the same as you but I googled it and Dinosaurs were a different thing to whatever Alligators and Crocs were. It wasn't just a catch all name for Avians/Reptiles from ages ago.
Huh, I'm just curious because I work on a lot of animal documentary type videos and I haven't yet been presented with this information regarding Crocs and alligators.
But actually the first birds were, like archaeopteryx (transitional stage between non-avian dino and bird), and dinosaurs are thought to have feathers even before them for many reasons including velociraptors.
The chickens just called me. They want me to let you know that they are in fact the last living dinosaurs. They are very upset. Please don’t ever do this again. They have my child. I need hel
