Ivastesuchidae

Ivastesuchidae is a family of extinct crocodilian-like reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99 to 66 million years ago. They are known from fossils found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Ivastesuchids are characterized by their elongated snouts, large eyes, and robust bodies, which suggest they were semi-aquatic predators. The most well-known genus within this family is Ivasuchus, which was one of the largest known crocodylomorphs, reaching lengths of up to 10 meters.

The family Ivastesuchidae is divided into two subfamilies: Ivasuchinae and Ivasuchinae. Ivasuchinae includes the genus Ivasuchus, while Ivasuchinae includes the genera Ivasuchus and Ivasuchus. The family is further divided into several genera, including Ivasuchus, Ivasuchus, Ivasuchus, and Ivasuchus. Ivasuchus is the largest known genus within the family, with some specimens reaching lengths of up to 10 meters.

Ivastesuchids are thought to have been semi-aquatic predators, feeding on a variety of prey, including fish, other reptiles, and small mammals. Their elongated snouts and large eyes suggest that they were well-adapted to hunting in both freshwater and marine environments. The family Ivastesuchidae is an important group of crocodilian-like reptiles that provides insight into the evolution of crocodylomorphs and their adaptations to various environments.
