Archovember Day 17: Pakasuchus kapilimai

Pakasuchus (or “Cat Croc”) is another small terrestrial notosuchian from mid-Cretaceous Africa, this time from Tanzania. It was only around 20 inches long, and unique in its strange mammal-like appearance. It had heterodont teeth, a catlike skull, a doglike nose, and reduced osteoderms. In fact, Pakasuchus is so confusingly mammal-like, that paleontologist Greg Buckley says that if only its isolated molars had been found, they would have assumed it was a mammal!

Pakasuchus was probably an herbivore or an insectivore. It would have been quick and agile, darting through the underbrush, perhaps filling the niche of modern day weasels. It lived alongside fellow notosuchians like Rukwasuchus, titanosaurs, turtles, small mammals, and lungfish.

[alphynix]

Pakasuchus kapilimai, a notosuchian crocodyliform from the mid-Cretaceous of Tanzania (~105 mya). This 50cm long animal (1′8″) had an elongated body and relatively long limbs, and would have been an active terrestrial predator chasing after fast-moving small prey like insects.

The bony osteoderms on its body were much smaller and sparser than those found on most of its relatives -- except for its tail, which was still heavily armored.

It also had some of the most complex teeth of all known crocodilians, with surprisingly mammal-like ‘canines’ and ‘molars’ that gave it the ability to chew its food.
