Genus Araripesuchus - Cretaceous crocodyliforms that existed 125 to 66 million years ago. 5 species are documented in this genus, including the “boar croc” (my favorite), “dog croc”, and “rat croc” illustrated here.

With their fast, long legs but still distinctly crocodilian bodies and heads, these are some of the most dragon-like creatures, extant or extinct, that I’ve ever seen.
