— Allen Johnson, about Rhinesuchus in Desert Monsters |
Rhinesuchus (meaning "Rasp Crocodile") is a genus of temnospondyl amphibian that originated during the Late Permian Era in what is now Asia and Africa. Measuring around 3 meters long, this predator was a large prehistoric amphibian.
In the Series 1 episode "Desert Monsters" a single pair of Rhinesuchus were brought to the park from Late Permian Siberia, 250 million years ago. They reside in the Primeval Aquarium Enclosure.
