Terrestrisuchus ('land crocodile') is an extinct genus of crocodylian that was about 50 cm (1 ft 8 in) long.
Terrestrisuchus was a small, thin, lizard-like creature with long legs, bearing little to no resemblance to modern crocodiles. It probably ran very fast, occasionally rearing up on its hind legs (that aside, it was a quadruped).
