- Thread starter Sarcosuchus
- Start date
There was a show on animal planet tonight, forget what it was called.....prehistoric park or something like that.......and a Deinosuchus tried to eat a T-Rex..........was really cool........
Wasn't there legends of Purussaurus? If I'm not mistaken when I was watching the show Purussaurus was the legend of a Monster Caiman spoken of by people.
"The lord of the Amazonas"
Another day is ending on the Amazonas River. On an edge of the river, three young, gigantic Purussaurus brasiliensis have awakened from their rest. They are preparing for a nocturnal hunt.
They are about 17m (56')long and are the biggest crocodilians known that have ever lived. Fully grown adults could grow to 25m (82')in length) and are believed to have lived in the Amazonian Basin between 12 and 5 million years ago.
Imagine the crushing power of these jaws...

Just look at that!
This Gavialosuchus Americanus skull was discovered in Polk County, Florida in 1990 in a phosphate mine. This specimen is the largest and most complete ever found. With a 52 (132cm) skull, it is estimated that its total body length would have been approximately 32 feet (15.8 M). This specimen is from the Miocene period and aged at about 5.5 million years old.
