Alligators actually evolved first. Gharials and other crocodiles are more recent.

>>
>>4771269
you would think having a snout that thin that looks like it could snap like a pretzel would be a disadvantage
>>
>>4771406
They pretty much only eat fish, a snout like that is good for catching and holding them
>>
>>4770970
Huh... rhat throws out what I knew to be the difference between the species. Confusing lizards...

iirc the split between Crocs and Gators predates the extinction of the Dinosaurs.

This isn't actually a universal truth. There are some gators with visible shaped snouts and Gators with rounded snouts. Best way to tell is to check if the body has iso sensors. Gators only have them on their heads while crocs have them all over their body. Basically if they have black dots on their bodies they're crocs. If it's only on the head it's a gator.

>>4771982
its only a truth in the americas, because you have both crocodiles and alligators
>>
>>4770519
Aren't they both technically Crocodilians? it's like saying a wolf isn't a dog, at that point, you're just being semantic, and everybody calls me anti-semantic
>>
>>4774011
Crocodilia is an entire order, that's like saying humans and lemurs are the same thing because we're both in the order Primates
>>
>>4771572
they are closer related to birds then they are to lizards
