Unlike their crocodile relatives, these triassic monsters were warm-blooded and hunted on land. They were common throughout the Triassic and lived in all the warm regions of Pangaea. All of them had large heads, slicing teeth, thick necks, straight tails, and four legs which were positioned under the body. Rauisuchus itself was a fairly average member of the group which lived in the arid plains of Western Pangaea (now the Americas), as was Vivaron. Vivaron's close relative Teratosaurus was significantly larger, as were Postosuchus and Polonosuchus, all of them inhabiting the wetter regions in North-Western Pangaea (North America and Europe). Scolotosuchus, on the other hand, was smaller and more agile, and lived in the coastal plains of Northern Pangaea (Russia).
