Prestosuchus archosaur. Computer artwork of a 15-foot-long (4.5 metres) Prestosuchus sp. rauisuchian archosaur amidst cycads and ferns in a swamp, 230 millions years ago during the Late Triassic period, in what is now Brazil. With its long powerful legs, sharp teeth and a crocodile-like body, Prestosuchus was probably an ambush predator and fast runner

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Walter Myers takes us back 230 million years ago to the Late Triassic period in what is now Brazil. The print showcases a magnificent Prestosuchus archosaur, a fearsome predator measuring an impressive 15 feet (4.5 meters) long. Amidst a lush swamp teeming with cycads and ferns, this prehistoric creature roamed its habitat with its crocodile-like body and sharp teeth. With its long powerful legs, Prestosuchus was likely both an ambush predator and fast runner, making it a formidable force in its ecosystem. Its presence evokes images of ancient South America's rich biodiversity during this era. The attention to detail in this computer artwork brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of this extinct reptile's biology and behavior. The artist skillfully portrays the interaction between fauna and flora as these majestic cycads tower over the swampy landscape. This illustration not only highlights the beauty of nature but also serves as a valuable tool for paleontologists studying Earth's history. It allows us to visualize how different species coexisted millions of years ago while shedding light on our planet's evolutionary past. Walter Myers' masterpiece invites us into an ancient world where reptiles ruled supreme amidst towering trees and abundant wildlife—a mesmerizing glimpse into our planet's distant past.
