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

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.

If they ever discover their cousin the ostrich we won't survive the next war

one continent was not enough, and though they do not thirst for the entire world, they do thirst for our half

crocodiles also have 3.5 chamber heart, while the birds have 4.

To be fair, dinosauria are subclade of archosauria, so dinosaurs are archosaurs.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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>

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What's this crow copypasta I'm missing out on?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

Also many were crocodlymorphs, not actual true crocodiles/alligators in the past.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

sounds like crocodiles trying to give a false alibigator
