Crocodiles are not fish.

Crocodiles have "fish" in their name and can swim in the water like fish, so many people think that crocodiles belong to fish. In fact, crocodiles are not fish, they belong to the phylum Chordata, Reptilia. The animals in the reptile class are reptiles. And reptiles and fish are very different, and there is no intersection of the two. So a crocodile, being a reptile, is necessarily not a fish.

In fact, crocodiles are very different from fish, and in some key ways. For example, from the way of movement, crocodiles can not only swim in the water, but also on land, they use the creeping crawling, which is a reptile-specific a characteristic; while fish can only be active in the water, can not be active on land. Therefore, crocodiles are very different from fish and do not belong to the fish.
