Describes the diversity of ancient crocodile relatives from the Cretaceous period, showing that they were far more varied than modern crocodiles. It focuses on Kaprosuchus, known as the Boar Crocodile, a powerful semi-terrestrial predator known only from a single fossilized skull. It also mentions other species like Araripesuchus rattoides, a small, possibly herbivorous crocodile adapted for life on land, and evidence of bipedal crocodiles, represented by fossilized Batrachopus tracks. The passage concludes with a brief reference to a book exploring unusual and extinct creatures.
