When it is an adult, it will hunt all small animals in the water or on the shore, as long as it can be swallowed, it is its prey. Extraordinary morphology: The neck of the Fosaurus crocodile has a prominent protruding spine, the carapace is oblong with no obvious bulge, the front is narrow and the back is wide, and the back is significantly serrated, and its complexion is generally light yellow or tan. The length of the anterior plastron does not exceed 40% of the length of the carapace. The width of the front edge of the third vertebral shield is the same width as the two costal shields or slightly wider. The plastron generally appears simple yellow. The head is tapered and the eyes are closer to the tip of the snout. Barbed upper and lower beaks and three serrated ridges spread from the tip of the tail to the tail. It is a very fierce carnivore and eats a variety of wild animals. In the resting place, when someone approaches, the crocodile will attack violently.
