Lost World[]

An African crocodyliform was seen resting on a river bank until being scared off by a Spinosaurus into the river. Another was later seen resting on the bank of a lake during a drought where it encountered a Spinosaurus.  Both of them were repelled by a Sarcosuchus which was disturbed during its hibernation.

New Giants[]

After a juvenile Paralititan got stuck in a pit of mud, a bask of African crocodyliforms emerged from a nearby river to bring down the struggling individual. However, as a Sarcosuchus also came for the Paralititan, the smaller crocodyliforms retreated to the river.

Trivia[]

  • Though it is unknown what genus of crocodyliform this animal was, some fans have speculated that the African crocodyliform is Elosuchus, a neosuchian crocodyliform that lived in North Africa during the early stages of the Late Cretaceous.
