No. True crocodilians first appeared very late into the era of dinosaurs. But many ancestors of crocodilians looked pretty crocodile like, and the last common ancestor of dinosaurs and crocodiles lived not long before when the first dinosaur appeared.
Oh, OK. I'm going to bed, now. That nap I had after drinking a cup of coffee right before it (which, under normal circumstances would have kept me alert for hours) didn't help my cognitive skills one bit. We'll see how long this cold lasts. My wife is taking antibiotics and got an inhaler for the symptoms. Me, I'm gargling peroxide and salt water. I loathe taking antibiotics, just to make sure that when the weird shit get to me, I'll have a chance to survive, based on my personal immunity. I kay not be making much sense here; I've been awake since Oh-dark-thirty, and I'm sick. 'night.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
