The more stylist models only last a few years, while rugged and utilitarian tend to be build for decades, like the VW Bug and the Unimog, both first built for civilians in the 1940s. The latter is still built today. The ’gator is the Unimog of the reptile world.
But to be fair the dinosaurs are still popular today because every anthropological museum has a dinosaur skeleton, but yet I have yet to see a 65 million year old crocodile skeleton display in a museum. Do we even have proof that the crocks were around then unchanged? All we have is a footnote in Wikipedia about crocks.
The age of the Dinosaurs lasted from about 252 million years ago, to 66 million years ago, when someone hit the ‘reset’ button in the form of an asteroid impact.

Smug. But dinosaurs went extinct after about a 170 million year run. So-ok.

Until we last as long as the dinosaurs, I don’t think we can really mock their longevity.

Such prescience! Put that one in charge of global ecological concerns.

Considering that they were estimated to roam earth for at least 2 million years, that statement might have been accurate in a small way!
