Champsosaurus (SciiFii)

The greater river chomper (Champsosaurus magnum) is a species of amphibious crocodile-like choristodere reptile that originally lived in North America and Europe during the Late Cretaceous and early Paleogene periods (Campanian-Paleocene) as an extinct species of Champsosaurus and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America and Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The greater river chomper is large and superficially gharial-like in appearance, growing on average of about 5 feet (1.50 meters) in length, but there are some specimens that can grow to nearly 10–12 feet (3–3.5 meters) long. The greater river chomper does not has rhomboid scales, with the largest scales being located on the lateral sides of the body, decreasing in size dorsally, no osteoderms are present, although it has some spines running down its neck and the base of its tail, while its hindfeet and forefeet are not webbed. It is highly specialised for aquatic life, using its muscular tail to propel itself through the water. The greater river chomper exhibits sexual dimorphism, with the females possessing more robust limbs than the males. As a carnivore, the greater river chomper feeds primarily on insects, fish, and frogs, usually aquatic species, although it can feed on some terrestrial amphibian and small reptile species. After mating, female greater river chompers lay their eggs in a hole in the riverbank and then cover them up for protection. Clutch size is 8 to 10 eggs and eggs stay underground for five or six month. Once the baby greater river chompers hatch, they are completely independent and there is no parental care given. The average lifespan of this species is between 20 and 30 years. The conservation status of the greater river chomper is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the greater river chomper's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
