Fucking how?

Because crocs rocks.
>>
>>5128319
they weren't crocodiles back then.

be like saying humans survived the great permian extinction.

it's a midwit take, you are a midwit
>>
>>5128331
except he's right reddit spacer-kun because eusuchia the true crocodiles first came about in the late creatceous.
>>
>>5128331
There is nothing in the Permian period that you can point to that looks like a human. In fact, mammals didn't even exist yet so your comparison is total nonsense. However, some of the earliest ancestors of crocodiles still bear a resemblance to their modern counterparts (at least in form, if not size), and if you were to show their silhouettes to the average joe, they would likely say it looks like some sort of croc.

>>5128319

Modern crocodiles are actually very recent, no oldest than the youngest Cretaceous. Their extinct crocodylomorph relatives were very different

Early Anserogalliformes (ducks and chickens) also existed during the Cretaceous

>survived humans
Not for long unfortunately.
>>
>>5128319
There used to be herbivorous crocodiloformes
>>
>>5128319
You think that's weird these survived all of that too.
>>
>>5128331
>look at today's crocodiles
>look at dinosaur-eating crocodile
>nah
ok retard
>>
>>5128319
Sharks, Lizards, Turtles, Horseshoe crabs, Birds and various arthropods and invertebrates also survived all of those. Crocs aren't special in this case.

>gets absolutely bodied by felines wherever their habitats overl-
W-Wait, that was not part of the script!
>>
>>5129389
I don't see any platyzillas around, Anon.
>>
>>5129389
Bring them back. Turtles have had it too good for too long.
>>
>>5128319
If they have a nice meal they can spend an entire year doing absolutely nothing
>>

>uneducated anon thinks he can determine relatedness by how things "look"
every time
this is why real ones don't read or post here
>>
>>5130835
So OP should have used some family name? Oh is it clade? Phylum? Order? Genus? Even that one croc that gallopped was still a croc to me.
>real ones
Autistic navel gazers who spaz on 4chin boards they claim to not even read?
>>
>>5130840
I didn't say anything about OP

I said you're retarded because you think organisms are classified by "looks." as if how things look to you personally matters at all to anyone else.
>>
>>5128457
Difficult to argue with this. They are amazing at not

I keep asking the same. Why me? Well, good thing this shit stops at me because I ain't passing down my genes.

"chaos" in nature is harmony, "order" represents an instability.
