Scientists still aren’t sure how, but crocodiles managed to outlive dinosaurs by 65 million years. In fact, crocodiles have always been so well-designed for survival, that modern crocodiles are hardly different than those found in fossils. Just a few theories about how they’ve managed to survive so long are based on crocodiles’ ability to go long periods without eating, their ability to survive in land and water, and the fact that they can adjust to cold temperatures easily.
