Anatosuchus (‘Duck crocodile’) was a small crocodylomorph from the early Cretaceous. All we seem to know about it is that it looked really, really silly.
Not to be confused with Crocoduck.

On the other side of the spectrum…
Pakasuchus (“cat crocodile”) also lived during the Cretaceous. It was smaller than your average housecat and known for unusually mammal-like dentition.
Here I did a SUPER REALISTIC DEPICTION (read: 5 min sketch) of one hunting its natural prey.
I want one as a pet, it combines two of my favorite animals!
This is Kaprosuchus (“boar crocodile”), a 20 ft long crocodyliform that lived during the Cretaceous.
I have to say our planet is far less cool now that something like this no longer exists. Safer perhaps. But just not as cool.
