    I love Volia. I wonder what kind of foods it ate and what habitats it dwelt in. Stable isotopic analysis should be conducted on Volia teeth!

    This is the first time I've ever seen Volia art. To think the most complete Mekosuchine has never really gotten attention

    This is pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

    Also, it has meme potential.
