Beyond the game
The real Simosuchus
Simosuchus clarki had a short, blunt snout, unusual teeth and extensive body armour. Its anatomy is very different from that of a modern long-snouted crocodile.
Its teeth, short snout and armor support the interpretation of a largely terrestrial plant eater. That combination differs greatly from the body plan of a modern swimming crocodile.
