Description
In the early twentieth century the Highley unusual skull of a crocodile was discovered In the 100 million year old rocks of central Egypt. Unfortunately this specimen was destroyed in the 2nd world war and this unusual creature was never found again. However, in 2009 a similar creature was discovered in Niger offering clues of what its large relative would have been like.
