(Because technically birds are dinosaurs, not a relative).

Birds are reptiles
Exactly, fuck paraphyletic groups.
Crocodilia, like birds, are archosaurs.
In a war, the birds would side with the crocodiles. I'm calling it.
It’ll be those bloody emus at it again.
one continent was not enough, and though they do not thirst for the entire world, they do thirst for our half
If they ever discover their cousin the ostrich we won't survive the next war
crocodiles also have 3.5 chamber heart, while the birds have 4.
I run archosaur btw
To be fair, dinosauria are subclade of archosauria, so dinosaurs are archosaurs.
And that's not what Mr Driver's sign is talking about. He's talking about crocodiles. So even if dinosaurs are archosaurs, it's completely irrelevant to the point
My point being that archosaur as a group ia not comparable to dinosaurs as dinosaur is a subgroup.
Like saying mice are not apes, mice are mammal.
Nobody is contesting your point, it's just irrelevant
<insert jackdaw != crow copypasta>
What's this crow copypasta I'm missing out on?
sounds like crocodiles trying to give a false alibigator
Also many were crocodlymorphs, not actual true crocodiles/alligators in the past.
