Postosuchus lived at the time of the first dinosaurs and, like Postosuchus from Schleich® Dinosaurs, looked like a crocodile.
The Postosuchus was an archosaur and so of the current crocodile family. It had visible ossification on the skin and a long, narrow snout. Most of the time, he walked on all fours. But sometimes it stood on its hind legs to hold its prey with its claws. When the Schleich® Dinosaurs Postosuchus opens its mighty movable jaw, its sharp teeth look like daggers.
Fun facts:
Postosuchus is named after the place of its discovery, the town of Post in the US state of Texas.
