Several small crocs walk along the bank of the jungle river. The will sometimes look at you and sniff, but they quickly get nervous and run off.

In fact, these features lead paleontologists to suspect that it was a (largely) terrestrial herbivore.
An unusual creature, simosuchus is a herbivorous crocodile. It also has a very short snout, giving it the nickname pugcroc.
