Question

which traits can you observe in the fossil of crocodilaemus, the living nile crocodile, and the living bottlenose dolphin? complete the table.
based on the table, which living animal shares more traits with crocodilaemus?

Explanation:

Crocodilaemus is an extinct reptile. Nile crocodile is a living reptile. Bottlenose dolphin is a mammal. Reptiles (Crocodilaemus and Nile crocodile) share more traits. For example, bony plates on the back (osteoderms) are common in crocodilians (both fossil and living like Nile crocodile). A long, pointed snout is also a trait of crocodilians. Front and back legs - both Crocodilaemus (as a reptile) and Nile crocodile (a reptile) have legs (though in water, Nile crocodile can swim, but still has legs for terrestrial movement). Bottlenose dolphin has front flippers (modified limbs for swimming) instead of legs and no bony plates in the same way as crocodilians.

Answer:

Nile crocodile
