Postosuchus

==Summary==
Postosuchus is a large terrestrial Pseudosuchian of the group Rauisuchidae. It's name mean "Crocodile of Post" named for the city in Texas near where it was found and the suffix "suchus" derived from the Greek word soukhos (σοῦχος), which means "crocodile." It was one of the apex predators of North America during the late Triassic. The two known species are Postosuchus kirkpatricki and Postosuchus alisonae.
One of the more iconic "rauisuchians," Postosuchus is notable for its appearance in the 1999 BBC Documentary series, Walking with Dinosaurs. Postosuchus's interpretation has changed quite a lot since the making of Walking with Dinosaurs, with modern studies showing the creature was bipedal.
