Qianosuchus was a medium sized reptile who lived in what is now China during the Middle Triassic. Although only distantly related to crocodilians, this carnivorous pseudosuchian took to the water independently of them. Notably, Qianosuchus possessed a tail even better suited for swimming than those of crocodilians yet was also much more comfortable (and deadly) than them when on land.
