Remember there were times when crocs evolved into mammal-like reptiles and they were absolutely badass.

The style of those two opposing animal heads (it's very hard to say of those were meant to be wolves, dragons or something else) is really an absolutely great design.

You have to take a closer look to see the wonderful structure of the steel.

This is one of the aesthetically most pleasing blades that I have seen for a long time. The unusual full steel hilt (normally parts were made of wood) and the use of what appears to be wootz or perhaps damascene steel, give it a nearly futuristic style.

False gharials are really impressive and despite not reaching the highest total lengths, they have the longest recorded skulls of all extant crocodylians.
Meet Kulong (酷龍, meaning "Cool Dragon"), the giant Tomistoma kept in Taipei Zoo. He measures 5.5 meters TL over the curves and weighs 720 kg, making him one of the largest Crocodylian kept in captivity.

The island of Gargano in the Mediterranean Sea had one of the most unusual faunal compositions and a whole menagerie of bizarre and unique species.
Many people are marginally familiar with Pleistocene island faunas. Tiny elephants and deer, giant swans and tortoises etc. However the Late Miocene/Pliocene of Italy was also host to a unique island fauna. This is Gargano island home of the terror hedgehogs.
