- Riojasuchus and its relatives had some odd jaws. And a new study used 3D scans to see how they would have worked, and maybe how it would have fed.

Ah, the Triassic, where nature went “sure, why not?”
The hooked, narrow shape of the skull, the relatively long neck, its blade like teeth, and the fact that it is great at pulling remind me the most of raptors - not the non-avian ones, but the original bird one. If it has any means restraining its prey, it may perhaps have the ability to "peck" them to death with a bite and pull motion.
The original archosaur version of the bird of prey curved beak without the beak and toothed to cut upside
Perhaps that gap was to just carry bundles of sticks around to build their dens 👀It helps crocodiles to build theirs, which explains why alligators and other of their family makes nests haphazardly compared to the crocs.

Holy cow! Wow. That is super interesting. Thanks Raptor Chatter. ❤
You're welcome!
so technically theropods are the copycats than riojasuchus and its relatives
In many ways yes. There was a lot of convergence in some of the psuedosuchians with later theropods
Love the videos!
Thanks! Glad you do!
Faster than humans in water is not thaaaat hard. xD
Fascinating video!
I don't see the weakness to side to side forces as making it a small prey hunter. Allosaurus has a simliar weakness to torsion. I would bet that many narrow jawed ziphodont archosarus do. It is the trade off for essentially having a meat saw for a mouth. The biggest force you need to endure is the wilderbeast trying to run, or your own bodyweight as you tow it by a haunch. You ever try to thrash when someone is dragging you by the leg?
Scientists: "aliens could never be bipedal because that would be too human like."
Also scientists: "look at all these different animals on Earth that evolved bipedalism separately from each other."
Me: "i bet there's a bipedal extraterrestrial croc shaking it's head at us."
Extraterrestrial sentient croc: 'Look now, been gone for 200 million years and those tree dwelling cynodonts have covergently evolved bipedalism like us!'
