I love when taxonomic lineages defy outer appearances. Like how common sense would dictate that crocodiles would be closely related to lizards but nope, the closest living kin to crocodilians are birds. And similarly, tuna fish are more closely related to humans than they are to sharks!

And there are “lizards” which are more closely related to snakes than they are to other reptiles classified as “lizards.”
