Caption: A crocodile, a living relative of the dinosaurs.
The closest living relatives to the dinosaurs are the birds and crocodiles, with which they share certain features. All three groups share the presence of extra openings in the skull and jaw. With the birds they have in common lightly built bones, the bony structure of their legs, a hinged ankle, and aspects of the skull and jaws. And while the dinosaurs are also similar to crocodiles, they differ from them and other reptiles in the bone structure of their legs, feet and hips. Crocodiles, like most other living reptiles, sprawl with their limbs held out to the side of the body. However, the dinosaurs have their limbs tucked in under the body, a structure that allows them to walk and run more efficiently.
