Day 15: Arboreal Crocodilian
In a world where Crocodylomorphs are dominant over both Mammals and Dinosaurs, various varieties have evolved, one of which, in this equivalent of the Early Cretaceous, is the leading lineage to flighted Crocodylormophs

A battle for dominance between two savage kings of the crocodylomorpha - Tyranitars. Little does the youngster know that this experienced alpha is not an easy foe.

- "juvenile coelophysis" found in the stomachs of adult specimens! However, further analysis on the remains showed that the specimens that were eaten by the adult Coelophysis were actually small crocodylomorphs like Hesperosuchus! (3/3)

Everytime I see Godzillasaurus now, I immediately think back to this "realistic" Yee drawing. Also Godzillasaurus with Crocodylomorph features just fits so gooooood!

Way over word count so OUT comes text on difference between & crocodylians and how it relates to position of thalattosuchians. So stupid & complicated but I have to keep explaining it because no-one else ever does [famous Pyrakowski art attached]

We observed mutualism in a nesting Lourinhanosaur pair & atoposaurid, the latter guarding the eggs in exchange for protection. Draw a similar scene with any Lourinhã crocodylomorph!

Quick speedpaint sketches. Trying ideas for an illustration depicting the small cursorial crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus.

I want to depict one or two foraging in a Late Triassic european beach. Which one you prefer?

Archosaur of the day!
Sillosuchus longicervix is a species of shuvosaurid Paracrocodylomorph from the Late Triassic in what is now South America. The closest modern relatives of sillosuchus, and shuvosaurids in general, are crocodilians.

Since "Mesozoic crocodilian" came in a close second in my poll I thought I'd paint the fascinating crocodylomorph Armadillosuchus. Likely a land-dwelling, burrow-digging armadillo-armoured, crocodile-like animal, it had forward pointing lower teeth and was omnivorous.

Hey people it's and I recommend celebrating by heading over to 's talk about crocodylomorph ecologies. If you need further convincing, I offer the following:

It also lived alongside alongside similarly large dinosaurian predators Bahariasaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, the titanosaur sauropods Paralititan and Aegyptosaurus, crocodylomorphs, bony and cartilaginous fish, turtles, lizards, and plesiosaurs. Artwork by Davide Bonadonna.
