I run archosaur btw

To be fair, dinosauria are subclade of archosauria, so dinosaurs are archosaurs.

My point being that archosaur as a group ia not comparable to dinosaurs as dinosaur is a subgroup.

Like saying mice are not apes, mice are mammal.

Crocodilia, like birds, are archosaurs.

crocodiles also have 3.5 chamber heart, while the birds have 4.

In a war, the birds would side with the crocodiles. I'm calling it.

If they ever discover their cousin the ostrich we won't survive the next war

one continent was not enough, and though they do not thirst for the entire world, they do thirst for our half
