Barinasuchus

==Summary==
Barinasuchus is a large genus of sebecosuchid, a group of terrestrial crocodylomorphs. It’s name means "Barinas Crocodile" after Barina in Venezuela where the holotype was discovered. It inhabited the wetland environment in South America from the mid Eocene to mid Miocene epochs, around 42.2–11.8 million years ago. It was very likely the apex predator of its time and location, hunting a variety of animals in its environment.
Based on estimates of its size, Barinasuchus was not only the largest sebecid, but also the largest terrestrial carnivore of the Cenozoic Era, Molnar RE, de Vasconcellos FM (2016). "Cenozoic dinosaurs in South America – revisited". Memoirs of Museum Victoria. 74: 363–377. doi:10.24199/j.mmv.2016.74.25. larger than any large predatory mammals such as Andrewsarchus (which also lived during the Eocene).

Gender: Varies with specimen
 
Age: Varies
 
Classification: Reptile, crocodylomorph, notosuchid, sebecosuchid, sebecidae
 
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Bodily Weaponry, Large Size (Type 0; estimated to be 6 meters long based on other sebecids), Enhanced Senses
