The 43 pages that link to Crocodylia, each with the reason it gives.

• BirdCompared with: Crocodilians are birds’ closest living relatives outside the bird lineage.

• SquamataCompared with: Crocodilians are a separate major reptile lineage with different skull and scale anatomy.

• LizardCompared with: Crocodilians are reptiles but belong to a distant lineage with different anatomy and ancestry.

• CrocodyliformesCompared with: Living crocodilians are only one surviving part of Crocodyliformes' much wider fossil diversity.

• LepidosauriaCompared with: Crocodilians belong to Archosauria rather than Lepidosauria.

• NotosuchiaCompared with: Notosuchians were extinct relatives, not members of the living crocodilian crown group.

• SarcosuchusCompared with: Despite its crocodile-like appearance, Sarcosuchus lies outside this crown group.

• Monitor lizardCompared with: Crocodilians share habitats and predatory roles with some monitors but are archosaurs, not lizards.

• EuparkeriaCompared with: Living crocodilians belong to Archosauria, unlike Euparkeria, which lies outside the crown group.

• MetriorhynchidaeCompared with: Modern crocodilians are mostly semiaquatic, unlike fully marine metriorhynchids.

• PoposauroideaCompared with: Poposauroids were extinct relatives on the crocodile-line, not members of living crocodilians.

• ChoristoderaCompared with: Choristoderes were a separate reptile lineage despite the resemblance of some forms to crocodilians.

• EffigiaCompared with: Effigia was related to crocodilians, yet had a very different build and lifestyle.

• SimosuchusCompared with: Living crocodilians provide a sharp contrast to the small, terrestrial-looking Simosuchus.

• StomatosuchidaeCompared with: Stomatosuchids were extinct crocodyliforms, not members of the living crocodilian group.

• TeleosauridaeCompared with: Living crocodilians differ from teleosaurids in ancestry, anatomy, and predominantly freshwater ecology.
