Description: Smilosuchus is an extinct genus of phytosaur from the Late Triassic of North America.
The crurotarsans were a fabulous bunch of monsters. Some called phytosaurs looked and lived a lot like today's crocodiles, staying submerged in rivers or lakes until attacking a victim. The North American phytosaur Smilosuchus grew to 39 feet long.

This is probably the biggest Phytosaur known, with a length up to 12m (40 ft) rivaling some of the biggest crocodiles that ever existed. It was probably the largest land animal of the late Triassic. Usually the largest land animals are plant-eaters. In Triassic times they were meat-eaters.
