25 million years ago in Asia during the Oligocene Epoch, the crocodilian Astorgosuchus bugtiensis attacks a juvenile specimen of the giant hornless rhinoceros Paraceratherium bugtiensis.

Astorgosuchus was a close relative of true crocodiles (family Crocodylidae) that is estimated to have grown up to 26 feet long, making it a bit longer than the largest saltwater crocodiles today. There are memes going around the Internet claiming even larger sizes nearing 30 feet in length, but a paleontologist buddy of mine who specializes in reptiles tells me these are likely exaggerated. Goes to show you once again that you can’t trust everything you read on social media.

That being said, we have found juvenile Paraceratherium bones with crocodilian tooth marks, and it’s possible a predatory Astorgosuchus left them behind.
