Purrussaurus’ Profound Puncturing Power

Bite marks on a ground sloth leg bone from a juvenile Purrussaurus (around the size of a very large American alligator) attest to its status as bearer of the strongest known bite. Sarcosuchus was a lightweight by comparison.

Which means we need some toys of Purussaurus already! Come on, CollectA and Safari!

For being one of the largest crocs, it's certainly surprising how little representation Purussaurus gets.
Maybe people have a thing against caimans, since they hardly ever receive good figures as well.

Was hoping Rebor would take the mantle and tackle all 3 LIVE superstar, super-crocs at once: Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus and Purussaurus. Given how nice their strangled-crocodile turned out to be.

Rebor Purussaurus skull.

Hell, maybe even Dino Hazard would consider making one. Would be right up their alley as they seem to focus on South American species.

Had never heard of Purrusaurus before this thread, and while Crocs aren't an area I know that much about, I would agree that this seems unjust given how massive this things was.  I also agree that we need a figure!  Anything Miocene is good in my books - it's a period I'm interested in and it doesn't get enough love.

I also agree, the purussaurus is a crocodile little treated (if there is any) in the toy market and even resin (collection). Perhaps the purussaurus is little treated with respect to sarcosuchus and deinosuchus because it belongs to the Cenozoic and the other two mentioned belong to the Mesozoic. A purussaurus as a Mesozoic crocodile would be interesting if a company like Rebor made a titanoboa could make that prehistoric prehistoric crocodile both Rebor and another brand of toy dinosaurs.

I'd love a Purussaurus figure. We have a skull at the Alf museum near my house and it always blows me away.
