Ancient Crocodiles Ate Dinosaurs
Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago and Hans Larsson of McGill University discovered three new species of giant ancient crocodiles, one with boar like tusks another with a duck like snout and the last one has buckteeth for chomping plants and grubs. They were nicknamed BoarCroc, RatCroc and PancakeCroc.
The BoarCroc actually included dinosaurs in its diet.
