Postosuchus was an archosaur ("ruling reptile"), a major group of living and extinct reptiles that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, pterosaurs and birds. Postosuchus was on the line to crocodiles, but it was not a crocodile itself.
Postosuchus evolved in the Late Triassic period. It was the top carnivore of the age. Its skull was short and broad, but it had a narrow snout and deep powerful jaws. Heavy-duty armor consisting of rows of plates covered its long back.
