Interesting find, an ancestor to the crocs that displays more 'Croc-like' behaviour :)

Looks more like a velociraptor than a T-Rex to me.

Pretty scary though :)

Scary indeed! :/

I'd like to see Steve Irwin wrestle with that!

Hm, quite interesting indeed, especially since it's a salt-water creature.

But 13 feet? That's like 4 metres...the largest crocodiles of today can reach lengths of almost 7 metres, and Mr. Irwin only has (moderate) trouble handling those. :p

That's not an ancestor to crocodilians.

It'd be an offshoot, not an ancestor. Notice the fact it had fins?

It'd be what's known as a marine or sea crocodile. They had fins rather than legs.
