AI Summary

Purussaurus neivensis, an extinct crocodyliform that lived over 200 million years ago, grew to about 7 metres (23 feet) long and weighed roughly 1,800 kilograms (4,000 pounds), comparable to an average car. Fossil evidence shows it preyed on large mammals the size of rhinos, indicating it was a top predator in its ancient ecosystem. The species represents a later stage in crocodyliform evolution after earlier forms that were herbivorous or cat‑like.
