Proteosuchus is an extinct archosaurid reptile belonging to the family of ancient crocodiles, which lived in early Triassic China and South Africa. The ancient crocodile is one of the famous early main dragon forms, with a shape similar to modern crocodiles, and may be the ancestor of modern crocodiles. The ancient crocodile may ambush prey by the water's edge. Their front end of the upper jaw is curved downwards, and the palatal bone has teeth, which is a primitive feature that later main dinosaurs lost. In the early Triassic period, ancient crocodiles were one of the largest terrestrial reptiles, with a body size similar to the modern Komodosaurus.
