Description Machimosaurus fue un gran cocodrilo marino de la familia de los teleosáuridos, que habitaron los mares durante el Jurásico tardío y principios del Cretácico. Se cree que las mayores especies alcanzaban los 10 metros de longitud y sus largas y estrechas mandíbulas erizadas de dientes habrían sido útiles para atrapar peces, pero se han encontrado marcas de sus dientes en huesos de dinosaurios, lo cual sugiere que eran eclécticos en su dieta. ¡Probablemente no habría sido buena idea acercarse mucho a uno! 
Inspirado por el reciente descubrimiento de los restos de un gran teleosaurio en Colombia, posiblemente un Machimosaurus.

Machimosaurus was a great sea crocodile of the teleosaurid family, which inhabited the seas during the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous. It is believed that the larger species reached around 10 m long, and their long, narrow jaws and interlocking teeth would've been great for catching fish, but its tooth marks have also been found in dinosaur bones, suggesting they were quite flexible in their diet. Probably not a very good idea to get too close! 
Inspired by the recent discovery of a great teleosaurid's remains in Colombia, possibly a Machimosaurus.

Just received thi ”DeviantART Team” note, congratulating me and offering me 100$ giftcard for posting this artwork. If I donˋt collect in 24 hours, they will give money to someone else (and possibly shoot a puppy).

I guess spam posts are getting more regular in dA.

Ignore them, all puppies need their shots anyways.

Look at those little stump-like limbs... not much longer and that croc would have evolved into some sort of snake!

Not necessarily, most marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs spent tens of millions of years in the ocean, the former 2 having lived there since the dawn of the Jurassic, or the late Triassic in the ichthyosaurs case, and instead of losing their limbs, they evolved them into fins/flippers, just like whales and sharks. In fact, one half of the thalattosuchia group (the sea crocs that include Machimosaurus), the metriorhynchoids did just that, along with gaining a vertical tail fluke, while the teleosaurids retained their traditional crocodilian morphology (including Machimosaurus).

lo mejor de todo, es que por la posición en la que esta, le dan el aspecto de que el animal es mas grande de lo que es, que se sienta mas natural y realista, y le da un toque de elegancia a su manera, gran dibujo

¡Muchas gracias! Así es, quise darle algo de perspectiva forzada para que se viera más épico, aunque la verdad es que si era un bicho muy respetable

Por cierto, gracias por que te haya gustado mi vídeo del giganotosaurus cazando al oxalaia, no pensé que fueras a verlo xd, por cierto, como recomendación, podrías dibujar un grupo de giganotosaurus intentando cazar a un triceratops, dado a que por lo general, muy poca gente se atreve a dibujarlos juntos.
