Ticinosuchus is an extinct genus of archosaur reptile that was about 3 m (10 ft) long.
Its whole body, even the belly, was covered in thick, armored scutes. Ticinosuchus's legs were placed under the body almost vertically. Coupled with the development of a calcaneus and a specialized ankle joint, this made Ticinosuchus a fast runner.
