Why did crocodile relatives survive the dinosaur age?
They were very good at saving energy. Their bodies used energy slowly. They could wait a long time for food. They lived near water. They also ate many kinds of food. (ucl.ac.uk)
After the asteroid hit, food became hard to find. Warm places may also have helped them. (nhm.ac.uk)
Think of a phone in low-power mode. It works longer with less energy. Crocodile relatives were a little like that. These useful skills helped some survive. Today, crocodiles still live an energy-saving life.
