[30] Deinosuchus is generally thought to have employed hunting tactics similar to those of modern crocodilians, ambushing dinosaurs and other terrestrial animals at the water's edge and then submerging them until they drowned. [31] A 2014 study suggested that it would have been able to perform a "death roll", like modern crocodiles. [32]
The discovery of Confractosuchus was announced by the Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum on 11 February 2022, and was published in the journal Gondwana Research. [4] It is the second extinct eusuchian crocodyliform genus discovered from the Winton Formation, after Isisfordia that was discovered during the mid-1990s and named in 2006. [5] [6]
Modern crocodilians, a subgroup of Neosuchia, emerged during the Late Cretaceous. [8] Crocodylomorph diversity was severely reduced by the end-Cretaceous extinction event . [ 9 ] The last group of terrestrially adapted crocodylomorphs was the Sebecidae , a group of large predatory notosuchians which persisted in South America until the middle ...
A crocodile-like creature bit the neck of a flying dinosaur some 76 million years ago – and scientists have proof.. Archaeologists found the fossilized neck bone of the young pterosaur in Canada ...
The first fossil materials were collected by an expedition of South African Museum in April 1963 led by Alfred W. Crompton. [1] The materials were collected from the Lower Jurassic Red Bed Formation (= Upper Elliot Formation) of the Stormberg, so that as soon as they found out that the fossils belongs to a new crocodilian species, they named the species Orthosuchus Stormbergi in a paper ...

Millions of years ago, the near-Canada region was an environment comparable to modern-day Florida, abundant with prehistoric turtles, fish, crocodiles and, of course, the king of the dinosaurs ...
Non-crocodilian reptiles have 3-chambered hearts, which are less efficient because they let the two flows mix and thus send some de-oxygenated blood out to the body instead of to the lungs. Modern crocodilians' hearts are 4-chambered, but are smaller relative to body size and run at lower pressure than those of modern birds and mammals.
