Kaprosuchus (name meaning "Boar Crocodile") also known as a Boar Croc in reference to its large, boar-like front teeth (which resemble that of a boar), is a genus of crocodyliform that originated during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now Madagascar. Measuring 6 meters long and weighing 2 tons, it was named for its unusually large caniniform teeth which resemble those of a boar, from which gave it its nickname, the "Boar Croc".

In the Series 2 episode "Battle for Dominance," a single adult female Kaprosuchus named Flat-Dog and her mate were rescued and brought to the park from Mid Cretaceous Africa, 95 million years ago.
