Purussaurus

In Real Life
Purussaurus is one of the largest known crocodyliformes ever to have existed. Three other extinct crocodyliformes, Sarcosuchus, Deinosuchus, and Rhamphosuchus had similar body sizes. Sarcosuchus and Deinosuchus had similar proportions, but both were geologically much older, dating from the Early and Late Cretaceous, respectively. One study also indicates that Purussaurus may have been heavier than either Sarcosuchus or Deinosuchus, as it had a much broader, shorter snout and this would require a thicker, stronger neck to support the larger head. Rhamphosuchus lived around the same time as Purussaurus, but was slightly smaller, had a more gharial-like snout and lived in India. During the summer of 2005, a Franco-Peruvian expedition (the Fitzcarrald expedition) found new fossils of Purussaurus in the Peruvian Amazon (600 km from Lima). Analysis of a biomechanical model of the skull of Purussaurus indicated that it was capable of performing the "death roll" maneuver used by extant crocodilians to subdue and dismember their prey. All sense organs (eyes, ears, nostrils) were at the very top of the head, indicating that Purussaurus was an ambush predator like many modern caimans. Upper estimates indicate that Purussaurus was capable of generating 69,000 N (around 7 metric tons) of pressure with its jaws.

In Prehistory
Purussaurus is the biggest carnivore so far in Prehistory, weighing in at 10 tonnes. Whilst Purussaurus is very durable, its weaknesses are tanky animals such as Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. This may be because Purussaurus is unable to use its bone-crushing bite as an advantage against them, due to their high defense. Puru pretty much beats every other apex though, due to its high damage and turn speed. However, Giga Rex and Spino can still kill a Puru if they play right. Purussaurus can swim and has a great turn radius, and is very suited to hunting Hadrosaurs and other apexes due to its crippling damage. Purussaurus work well in groups, and can swim along the rivers to single out weak or slow animals, before attacking. In the new map, Puru is very useful due to the large bodies of water.
