Hehehe, yes, that is true...

be shown to exist in either crocs, birds, or preferably, both.<
I'd like to think so too, but I think that the patterns seen in birds may
not be the same reflected in dinosaurs, or may not be informative (i.e.
males taking on both robust and gracile morphs, depending on taxa), and I'm
not sure how much of a degree of dimorphism is present in crocodylians.
