Taxonomists: creating the ultimate identity crisis since forever. Modern crocodiles somehow managed to get classified as both "true crocodiles" (Eusuchia) AND "false crocodiles" (Pseudosuchia) simultaneously. It's like being told you're both adopted and the biological heir to the throne. This taxonomic paradox is what happens when scientists spend too much time naming things and not enough time considering the existential crises they're inflicting on perfectly innocent reptiles. Next time a crocodile tries to eat you, remember it's just working through some serious classification trauma.
