>>21264154Well, gators and birds are actually more related to each other than gators are to lizards.
In fact, gators being ectothermic was more an reversion due to their niche as semi-aquatic ambush predators. Their ancestors had a mesothermic metabolism. Many of these 'pseudosuchians' actually were among the dominant creatures of the Triassic before the Jurassic Period started with a cooling event that gave the endothermic dinosaurs a vast advantage over the Pseudosuchians.
Many of these Pseuosuchians looked more like what we used to thought of dinosaurs than actual dinosaurs. Just smaller because avian traits turned out to be the reason dinosaurs were able to get bigger.
