A volia, a mid-sized terrestrial crocodilian at 2-3 m long, hunting down a Megavitiornis, a large flightless bird, in Pleistocene Fiji (by Peter Schouten)
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

Now that u mention it yeah. I’ve pretty much never seen any Paleoart of this guy
mekosuchines really got around
What are other animals from Pleistocene Fiji or Pacific islands similar to it
Mekosuchus inexpectatus
Interesting 👍🏻

This is pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
Also, it has meme potential.
