Description African battles

The Holocene period was marked by powerful and monstrous creatures, especially in Africa. The first discoveries presented a collection of terrifying creatures, including hippos, large predators than 4 meters long with jaws that could shatter bones, and crocodiles, large reptiles than 7 meters long with long jaws hold of allowing prey. These big monsters were found between areas where droves flowing rivers. At first it was believed that large groups of these creatures were killed by a flood. However, more detailed investigations unveiled that most of these bones showed signs of cracks, wounds and bites, which led to a theory, which shows that these two predators competing fiercely for territory to death. This is possible by the fact that alligators They lived near water and hippos hunted near the banks.

El periodo holoceno estuvo marcado por criaturas poderosas y monstruosas, sobretodo en áfrica. Los primeros descubrimientos expusieron una colección de seres terroríficos, entre ellos, los hipopótamos, grandes depredadores de 4 metros de largo con mandíbulas que podían destrozar huesos, y los cocodrilos, grandes reptiles de 7 metros de largo, con largas mandíbulas que permitían aferrarse de las presas. Estos grandes monstruos fueron encontrados por montones entre zonas donde fluían ríos. Al principio se creía que grandes grupos de estas criaturas murieron por una inundación. Pero, investigaciones mas detalladas develaron que la mayor parte de estos huesos mostraban señales de quebraduras, heridas y mordeduras, lo que llevo a una teoría, la cual deduce que estos dos depredadores competían ferozmente por el territorio a muerte. Esto es posible por el hecho de que los cocodrilos Vivían cerca del agua y los hipopótamos cazaban cerca de las riberas

Maybe the hippos were fighting between themselves, not with crocodiles?

The crocs look the same which I guess actually makes sense.

I like this drawing, but crocodiles aren't actually reptiles! They just discovered that they're actually very primitive birds! So I guess lizardlike depictions of them like this are now outdated.

Newer paleoart shows them covered in primitive, filamentous feathers: zaubererbruderasp.deviantart.c…

is actually otherwise, birds are reptiles evolved descendants of bipedal reptiles. Crocodiles are the closest relatives, descendants of the ancestors of these.
