    IMO it’s either basically just lizards, which i think is perfectly fine since dinosaurs and even crocodilians aren’t that reptilian to me.
    Or reptile has nothing to do with phylogeny and is instead just a physical description, like “fish” and “tree”.

    Really the only thing that seems particularly similar between lizards and crocodilians is that they have a splayed posture and scaly skin, which is kinda like grouping together humans with ostriches and kangaroos because we walk upright on two legs…
