Say someone put something in the water that killed only crocks. If there were only a handful of survivors, nature would speed up their birth rate as well as making them immune to what killed the rest.

The only way i see them possibly going extinct as a clade is if we had a phenomena like snow ball earth which happened only once sow 650 million years ago. During this event the entire planet became white covered in snow, crocodiles and most other living things would go extinct. 
 
Another possible killer would be if the entire world became a desert which happened 250 million years ago during the monstrous permian mass extinction, but even then some crocodilians may cling on, following this extinction was when crocodilomorphs took the world by storm....Show more
