Crocodilia
Crocodilia (class Reptilia) Order of the ‘ruling reptiles’ (
Archosauria) which includes the crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gavials (gharials). They are derived from
thecodontian ancestors and are closely related to the
dinosaurs and
pterosaurs. They are first recorded from
Triassic rocks and were the only
archosaurs to survive the
Mesozoic Era, although strictly speaking the birds (
Aves) are also archosaurs.
