I was hoping somebody would bring this up, but I guess it's left to me... one of the earlier postings said to look at crocodilians as dinosaurs... BRRRRRRP! WRONG ANSWER! Crocodilians are another group of reptiles that branche off from the thecodonts ran a parrallel course with the dinosaurs... it is no more correct to call crocs dinosaurs than it is to call turtles dinosaurs.
