rhamphosuchus crassidens

About this artwork

a male rhamphosuchus emits a low frequency growl from his throat, causing the water around him to splash in the air. this behavior is known today from modern crocodilians in the form of courting behavior to attract females. know by a few fragmentary remains of it's dentition and rostrum, rhamphosuchus was a large relative of false gharial. measuring 8-11 meters in length, it was a very large predatory animal, possibly being very generalist with it's diet. seeing this creature performing this display must be a real sight to see.
