The African Dwarf croc has the best design of all crocodilians- it looks like an 80s movie monster puppet- full of gnarl yet endearment

This is Solifurfex, a very primitive carapaceon that inhabits marshes and has a niche similar to crocodilians.

Did you know there are two types of gators??

The Chinese Alligator is one of the most critically endangered crocodilians and lives in tiny region in the Yangtze River.

They are much smaller than their 🇺🇸counterparts at 5-7 feet.

Despite being hypercarnivores (animals whose diet consists of at least 70% meat), crocodilians love to eat fruit and other plant matter. This is to supplement their diet with extra vitamins and fibres.

Birds are living dinosaurs. Crocodilians are the next closest living relatives of nonavian dinosaurs. Both can be helpful comparisons, however both are also highly derived members of their respective branches. It’s important to keep both points in mind…

Little known fact on crocodilians is that they have two evertible eye-like glands located on the lower part of mandible jaw (circled in blue below)! What these glands exactly are utilized for is still not entirely understood and still up for debate.

Continued my WWD review today; I'm still on ep 1. Oddly enough the most interesting thing I went back and did some research/fact checking on involved archosaurs urinating.

Dinosaurs could pee. So can birds and crocodilians.

Published today in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…), an article co-authored by Max Langer and Thiago schineider fachini reveals that notosuchians had a higher oxygen consumption than modern crocodilians during periods of intensive activity 🐊🇧🇷
