Quinkana: A terrestrial crocodilian from ice age Australia

Описание к видео Quinkana: A terrestrial crocodilian from ice age Australia

The prehistoric mekosuchine crocodilian Quinkana differed considerably from the modern semi-aquatic crocodilians. Only known from Australia, Quinkana lived primary, perhaps even entirely, on land. At five to six meters long, the largest species of Quinkana, Quinkana fortirostrum, was one of the largest terrestrial predators in Australia during the last ice age.
