    Dude, I live with alligators, actual living dinosaurs. There’s an 8 footer in the pond directly across the street from us. His name is Rocky. He’s always basking on the bank on a sunny day.

      Sorry to disappoint but alligators are not closely related to dinosaurs even though they have existed for a long time. Birds on the other hand are dinosaurs.

          Because that’s what defines something… A banana can look phallic but that doesn’t make it an “actual living penis”.

          How the fuck does someone in 2026 not know that alligators and crocodiles, reptiles, aren’t dinosaurs?

          We also look very monkey. We have a comon ancestor with monkeys but arent monkeys ourself. The same thing goes for crocodiles and aligators

      The chicken I ate last night is more closely related to dinosaurs then the alligator.
