Need I say more? The above image is a beautiful reconstruction by paleoartist/ palaeontographer Rodolfo Nogueira of Gondwanasuchus scabrosus, a newly described terrestrial crocodyliform from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil (Marinho et al., 2013).
The best thing about this artwork is the palette: no boring 'standard' reptilian browns or greys here. It's also a reminder that these were once living, breathing, complex creatures with complicated lives, that roamed Gondwana 83-89 million years ago.
