鱷魚是非常古老的物種。最早的鱷魚與恐龍共存進化於大約 9500 萬年前的白堊紀晚期。它們總是讓我與一些伏地魔式的水棲恐龍聯係起來。在蜥蜴的世界，從微距上看起來它們就是大滅絕中幸存下來的恐龍。我懷疑是否有一些真的幸存至今，但以一種不起眼的形式展現——各種蜥蜴。知道嗎蛇是由蜥蜴進化而來的，有些蛇仍然有未完全退化的腿的痕跡。大多數蜥蜴的舌頭又短又圓。變色龍有細長的、可伸出的舌頭，但不是分叉的。具有蛇狀分叉舌頭的蜥蜴是巨蜥、科莫多巨蜥，等中體型較大的肉食性蜥蜴。
Crocodilians are very ancient species. The earliest crocodilian, meanwhile, evolved around 95 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous period, coexisted with dinosaurs. Their appearance always made me relating them to some low to the ground water-dwelling type dinosaurs. After getting into the lizards' world, at macro scale, seem to me they are the dinosaurs survived from the mass extinction. Could some survive to date but appear in a humble form - a great variety of lizards? Do you know that snakes are evolved from lizards? Some snake species still have traces of not completely degraded legs. Most of the lizards have short and round tongues. Chameleons have elongated, extrudable tongues yet not forked. The lizards with a serpent-like forked tongue are the carnivorous ones of a larger size in family Varanidae (Monitors, goannas, Komodo dragon) and Teiidae (Tegus, whiptails, caiman lizards).

胡須龍名副其實：像龍一樣，它配備有帶刺的爬行動物鱗片的盔甲，其中包括下巴下方的尖刺“胡須”，根據它的心情而膨脹。

亞洲水巨蜥與科莫多龍是親戚，經常被誤認。亞洲水巨蜥確實會分泌毒液，但是，它對人類說並不具有致命危險或致命性，而科莫多巨蜥咬傷如果不立即治療，可能會人類致命。

這是使用微距鏡頭拍攝的真正微距照片，光線對於微距攝影來說是一個挑戰，在高 ISO 6400 下，圖像質量差了些
