Paleontologists explained crocodile survival by their dependence on warm climates
Crocodile ancestors stayed in warm climates for nearly 250 million years and spread along with them, rather than adapting to the cold. According to a study in Science Advances, this climatic conservatism may have helped them survive the asteroid impact that wiped out non-avian dinosaurs.
