Lagosuchus, the Rabbit Crocodile

(image source: https://www.sciencephoto.com/contributor/jsi/)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Lagosuchus, a long-legged little lunatic that was named like a crocodile but is actually closer related to dinosaurs… then again dinosaurs are often named like they’re lizards when they’re patently not. From the Early Triassic, this 2-foot archosaur was not related to rabbits either despite the name, nor does it look like one. And it also wasn’t found near the city of Lagos, Nigeria, so this thing’s name was just a packful of lies all around.
