Wow, a couple of those sound so unlike any crocodile I've ever heard of. I can't imagine a crocodile with buck teeth eating plants and grubs. Or one chasing prey across land for more than a short distance.

I wouldn't mind having one of the three foot varieties as a pet.  The dog-nosed one sounds fascinating.  :teddyr:

Wow, those are some really interesting finds.  It's a little sad that there are so few examples of megafuana left in the world.   But then again, we might not have advanced to the place where we are if we were still being chased by giant crocs, bears, and lions that used to live. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...
