Purussaurus was perhaps the king of the crocodilians. This giant caiman is one of the largest crocodyliforms that ever existed. Purussaurus measured about 10-11 m in length and weighed around 5 - 6 tonnes or more. It's bite force has been estimated to be around 69,000 N.


Fossils have been found in South America (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Amazonia and Northern Venezuela.)
