Smilosuchus

Smilosuchus is an extinct genus of phytosaur from the Late Triassic of North America.

The crurotarsans were a fabulous bunch of monsters. Some called phytosaurs looked and lived a lot like today's crocodiles, staying submerged in rivers or lakes until attacking a victim. The North American phytosaur Smilosuchus grew to 39 feet long.

This is probably the biggest Phytosaur known,with a length up to 12m (40 ft)rivaling some of the biggest crocodiles that ever existed.It was probably the largest land animalof the late Triassic.Usually the largest land animals are plant-eaters.In Triassic times they were meat-eaters.
