Pakasuchus kapilimai, a notosuchian crocodyliform from the mid-Cretaceous of Tanzania (~105 mya). This 50cm long animal (1′8″) had an elongated body and relatively long limbs, and would have been an active terrestrial predator chasing after fast-moving small prey like insects.
The bony osteoderms on its body were much smaller and sparser than those found on most of its relatives – except for its tail, which was still heavily armored.
It also had some of the most complex teeth of all known crocodilians, with surprisingly mammal-like ‘canines’ and ‘molars’ that gave it the ability to chew its food.

Hello! Would you mind if I used your Pakasuchus illustration for a short Youtube documentary on Mesozoic crocodiles? It illustrates the fleshy nose very well. I’ll be sure to credit you when showing the image and provide a link to your work in the description
