Скачать или смотреть Erythrosuchus: The Giant Headed Predator of the Triassic Period

The big-headed Erythrosuchus was a massive reptilian predator from Middle Triassic South Africa. It was not only the largest member of its clade, Erythrosuchidae, but perhaps the largest terrestrial predator from the time before the evolution of its distant relatives, the dinosaurs. Despite its seeming primitive, lumbering appearance, Erythrosuchus already possessed a number a of adaptations which proved critical to the later success of its dinosaurian cousins.
