Salt-Tolerant 'Terror Crocodile' Rewrites Crocodilian Evolution
Deinosuchus, a massive extinct reptile (82-75 million years ago), possessed salt glands enabling saltwater tolerance, unlike modern alligators, which allowed it to dominate coastal ecosystems across North America, feeding on dinosaurs.
