Theriosuchus

Atoposauridae
Atoposauridae is an extinct family of neosuchian crocodyliforms, known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous of Eurasia. Characterised by their small size and their heterodont (having multiple tooth types) dentition, they are thought to have lived in terrestrial and semi-aquatic environments, and to have consumed small prey such as fish, insects and mammals. The oldest records of the group are known from the Middle Jurassic of Britain. The majority of the family are known from Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous deposits in France, Portugal, and Bavaria in southern Germany. The discovery of the genus

Knoetschkesuchus
Knoetschkesuchus is a genus of small atoposaurid crocodylomorph from the Late Jurassic of Germany and Portugal. Two species are known: the German species K. langenbergensis, described by Schwarz and colleagues in 2017 based on two partial skeletons and various isolated bones; and the Portuguese species K. guimarotae, named from over 400 specimens including several partial skeletons. Knoetschkesuchus was a small and short-snouted crocodilian, measuring about in length, that primarily fed on small prey, including invertebrates, amphibians, and mammals. This specialization towards small prey ecol
