Kaprosuchus, nicknamed the "boar crocodile," was a crocodylomorph that lived in the Late Cretaceous period. It had long, up-and-down tusks, similar to those of a wild boar. These tusks were perfectly adapted for crushing bones and piercing the skin of its prey.

Unlike modern crocodiles, Kaprosuchus had longer legs and a more upright posture, suggesting it was primarily a terrestrial predator. It was likely fast and hunted on land, using rivers and swamps as refuge or to ambush its prey. It inhabited the region that is now the Sahara Desert, which in the Cretaceous was a lush ecosystem of rivers, swamps, and deltas, home to dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.
