Also, once you evolve enough, you don't need to evolve any more to live in the world as it is. Crocs just reached that point quicker than anyone else. Bullshit. The world constantly changes, if surprisingly slowly. If a species can't adapt to the changes quick enough through evolution, or evolve enough to adapt, it will die. Polar bears would have never existed if they didn't develop the extra cold-resistant fur.

Plus evolution can always make something stronger. The polar bears are also an example of that. They didn't just adapt to the cold, they became one of the most dangerous bear species.

It's the same reason species go extinct even these days. Human activity speed things up, altering the climate, altering the ecosystem, and directly altering the survival of species. If the world changes someday drastically, we will never survive unless we adapt one way or another in the long term, through evolution, artificial or natural. Or our technology is just too damn good but more likely the former.

The world itself has gone through multiple changes between the ages. When the Sarcosuchus existed there was only 1 continent, and it was very hot in all the planet. Compare that to now. Evolution Marches On.
