Crocodilians in Perspective!1

CARL GANS
Department of Biology, The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048

The prediction of the 1960s that crocodilians would soon be extinct has happily proven to be unduly pessimistic. The survival and recovery of substantial stocks provides us with the unexpected opportunity to learn about their adaptations, important not only because of their place as relicts of a major reptilian radiation, but also as giant animals, reptiles substantially larger than all but marine turtles.
