Meccosuchia: Australasia's Diverse Crocodile Dynasty


Listen Later

Australasia's Meccosuchinae ranged from pocket-sized dwarfs to five-meter swamp kings, and even possible land-walking hunters with tall snouts and blade-like teeth. This episode pieces together clues from skulls, teeth, and limb bones to reveal a crocodilian world far from the water's edge, including mainland giants, island specialists, and a lineage surviving into the Holocene before climate shifts and possibly humans ended their reign.
