Crocodilians today are seen as quite a stable group evolutionary, not having changed too much overall since the time of the dinosaurs. This statement though does have some issues, not just in how it often glosses over how diverse the group is today, but also as to how different many of their relatives were in the past.
There are a ton of these animals to discuss, so I’ll be covering a ton more at a later date, but for the moment, I feel the need to discuss one of the most interesting of them all, being the fairly recently described Brachiosuchus, an animal that nearly went under the radar. I hope you enjoy.
