It is hard to get a size for a lot of these fragmentary pterosaurs - I've gone for a tentative 4-5ish metre wingspan here.

While it's our smallest aquatic critter so far, it's still pretty sizeable at around 2-3m in length. Jeremy Wade would have the time of his life in the Kem Kem.

So alien and so familiar at the same time - the perfect vibe to capture in paleoart

They bolt together in the final episode to form a megamachairodont

While not larger than Elosuchus, Laganosuchus is still a pretty hefty addition to the roster. I'm finding it trickier to come up with a clean composition for the aquatic section - something I'll keep working on.

I love early paleoart like this. One of my favourite potential sites are the Mokhali caves in Lesotho, and there's a nice list of a few other potential examples of early paleoart on the last page of this paper.

Congrats Scott, it looks phenomenal! Can't wait to watch it later this month!

I do need to finish the rest of the pterosaurs!

I will eat Sigilimassasaurus
