Battle of the armoured beasts by Gabriel Ugueto
I didn’t start truly admiring barinasuchus until recently. It’s estimated they were 20 feet long weighed 3700 pounds, stood 6 feet tall, could run 25 mph and these land crocs could have been even bigger given some estimates. They had a laterally compressed snout along with a durable 2 foot long skull that would have resulted in a powerful bone crushing bite force. One of the largest land predators since the K-Pg extinction.
