Iharkutosuchus: The Herbivorous Prehistoric Crocodilian

Iharkutosuchus was a small relative of crocodilians from prehistoric Europe. While crocodilians are carnivores, Iharkutosuchus had a herbivore. Furthermore, unlike crocodilians, and indeed most other reptiles, it had complex, mammal-like teeth and was able to efficiently chew its food. Iharkutosuchus's fossils are found in the Hungarian Csehbánya Formation, which was formed eighty-five million years ago, during a time when Europe consisted of small islands inhabited by dwarf dinosaurs.
