One interesting thing to note is that alligators of the Mesozoic are not the same as alligators of today.
Early mesozoic crocodiles looked more like archosaurs.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodylomorpha
Late mesozoic crocodiles would grow up to 40 feet long. Which is significantly larger than alligators or crocodiles grow today.
People tend to confuse this. Thinking prehistoric ceolacanths and prehistoric sharks and prehistoric alligators were all the same as they are today. But they're actually unique species.
Megalodon is another example. It is similar to a great white shark, but much much larger.
So people shouldn't confuse prehistory by saying that because crocodiles lived alongside dinosaurs, and we live alongside crocodiles, then it must be true that we lived alongside dinosaurs.

This is something I mentioned to @Derf the other day. The same goes for prehistoric ceolacanths. They actually aren't the same species as ceolacanths of today and are morphologically unique and different in the past (though I would agree that the prehistoric species do resemble those of today).
The accurate depictions of dinosaurs in pottery and granite found worldwide, done long before Darwinism caused the intense search for fossils resulting in complete dinosaur skeletons being dug up and assembled so what they looked like can be known, is evidence that they saw them alive.
Not to mention tools being discovered in strata dinosaurs were found in, and in ancient coal deposits, and dinosaur tracks exhumed from a river valley bed in Texas, with human footprints overlaying - confirmed by diagnostic imaging scans to be genuine, not carved or cast is more evidence.
And the fact that soft tissue consisting of cells and blood vessels was found in dinosaur bones, (which can’t be over 7,000 years old, and certainly not 70 million years old), is more confirmation that humans and dinosaurs co-existed.
