"crocodiles have changed dramatically in the last two million years" is a pretty important statement to keep in mind. Whenever we discuss modern animals and traits that are evolving, it's a bit misleading to not apply the time frame.

I did expect this to be about them reacting to climate change and other human factors, as there's been many stories like this recently. But I suppose a couple million years is a blink of the eye for a family this ancient.
