An archosaur of the genus Postosuchus wanders in a prehistoric landscape.

A 12-foot-long, 1,000 pound rauisuchian archosaur of the genus Postosuchus wanders a hilltop 220 million years ago in what is today Texas. Surrounding the Postosuchus are various cycads, ferns, and tree-like Glossopteridales. With a crocodile-like body and tyrannosaur-like head, Postosuchus was likely a fierce apex predator that preyed upon Dicynodonts and other animals smaller than itself, including some of the first dinosaurs.
