If you’re confused: Birds are dinosaurs, crocodiles aren’t; note the “closest living relatives”

So, it's a joke about the fact that both are essentially dinosaurs?

Here's my take:

Low IQ: crosc looks like dinos so they are the cloests living relative to dinos. Mid IQ: birds are direct descendents of dinos so they are the closest living relatives to dinos. High IQ: since birds are direct descendent they are just dinos, not a relative. Which makes crocs the next closest living relative to dinos/birds.
