History of reptiles

During the 100 million years of the age of reptiles, crocodilians ruled the earth. Today, only 23 crocodilian species remain, many of which are in danger of extinction due to conflicts with humans. Of all reptiles, crocodilians are the largest and have the most complex behavior, including
