minus-squareCarbonIceDragon@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·16 days agoFunny thing about crocodilians, they look a bit lizardy, but theyre closer to birds than they are to lizards
minus-squareZagam@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·16 days agoYeah, in think I remember them not being lizards but something close, right? The other part of my comment is still true though.
