Godzilla could be a distant relative of the crocodile!

this was one of my theorys before. he does look very much like a crocodile or alligator

i'm pretty sure that Godzilla will always be an archasaur. if he is similar to a crocodile he could be based off rauisuchians like fasolasuchus,saurosuchus,and postosuchus. i don,t know how to add images so maybe someone could post a picture of maybe, fasolasuchus please.

Here's two fasolasuchus images:

I gotta say, I think you're right, this does kind of remind me of LegenGoji (or is it BearGoji?).

i just had another theory come to mind. this new godzilla has some interesting features. the legs remind me of sauropods, but the arms are defnietly therapod. the head, although it has therapod features and is supported by a short, thick neck, is still rather small compared to the rest of Godzilla, like a sauropod. his behavior is obviously similar to an aggresive therapod.the torso looks a bit like both and the tail could be either but its length says sauropod to me. also some dinosaurs were armored, one specifically, was the sauropod saltosaurus, it actually had scutes, which if exagerated, could become godzilla spines. what i am getting at is that godzilla has defining features of both sauropods, and therapods, these two groups make up the saurisuchian, or lizzard hipped, dinosaurs. what if Godzilla originated as another, unknown, type of saurisuchian?

COOL,thanks for the pics!

A Guys You no Godzilla is still going too be a Dinosaur and why would Godzilla be a crocdile or an aillgatgor like really Godzilla being A croc and Godzilla is not going too be related too a Saurischian. Godzilla is still going too be a Dinosaur and also if Godzilla was a crocdile he would be smaller so Godzilla is not a Croc he,s a dinosaur. and also Godzilla may look kinda like a croc but he,s still a dinosaur

SABER, saurisuchans ARE dinosaurs, and as long as godzilla is an archosaur i don't thinck it would be an issue(dinosaurs, crocodiles, and rauisuchians are all archasaurs btw)

I believe if you look at some of the classic Godzilla films they clearly explain that he was a T-Rex if i'm correct

the classic godzilla ogininated as a fictional therapod, it was very similar to a T.Rex, but buch larger, and much tougher. this was explained in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

the reason that the crocodile theory seems reasonable is becuase there were no dinosaurs in the ocean. it is a common misconception that animals like pliosaurs and pleisiosaurs in the ocean were dinosaurs, when infact, they were simply marine reptiles, not dinosaurs. but i do get your idea.

Guys, you might want to see this on how Godzilla was designed for the original 1954 movie.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfSARjZ0OXc 

Godzilla is a mix of a T-rex, iguanadon, stegasaurus, and a crocodile. That's the features blended to make the original look. 

This should help. :) 

my guess is that he is a Godzilla, latin name is Godzilla Gojira. Look it up.

I too had noticed the crocodilian traits and wondered its orgin as well. I like your theory, as it could explain why our Godzill has both gills and crocodillian traits.

Mattzilla, i see what you meant know, i mistook sea dino for refering to the marine reptiles.

Did you all forget that Godzilla is a Godzillasaurus?

Please, just leave it as a Godzillasaur...

ah, but in what group is godzillasaurus? hes awfully large for a normal therapod.

This wouldn't be a bad thing if Godzilla was more Crocodile than Dinosaur.  Actually before producing the original Godzilla, many suit designs were made, some were interesting, some were weird, and one even seem to be a bit Crocodile-like.  So in a way it could be using a scrapped idea for the original film.  But hey, as long we can make out that it looks like Godzilla, then I'm not worried.

gojira = whale and gerela

GODZILLA IS NOT A CROCODILE OR AN ALLIGATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GODZILLA IS A DINOSAUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is Godzilla has had a similar skin layout ever since gojira....the head is new but the body reminds me of the original
