Koolasuchus, the Crocodile of Lesley Kool

(image source: https://walkingwith.fandom.com/wiki/Koolasuchus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O’Regan discuss Koolasuchus, a giant amphibian from far later than when giant amphibians were cool, kind of like people today with mohawks or rollerblades. From the Mid Cretaceous, this 16-foot temnospondyl hung out in polar waters too cold for the crocodiles throughout the rest of the world, making it a Cool Crocodile, if you will. That’s where it got its name, surely. I’m sure Lesley Kool is a great paleontologist, but c’mon, you had a lucky name for this. Want to further support the show?
