My thanks to all who've chimed in on the 'why crocs aren't dinosaurs' question. Cladistics notwithstanding, I still have trouble with the notion that budgerigars are dinosaurs whilst alligators are not. It's interesting that tooth and jaw characteristics hold less weight (no pun) than leg posture when determining the criteria for dinosauria.

Cheers all,
Peter Markmann
