Description

Afrotasia, one of the least explored continents in the world of Hypoemtasia, has intrigued many explorers that accompanied the Atlantenian and the Occidentian colonial expedition army between the mid 16th to the early 20th century, in terms of biodiversity. Many of the faunas found in this isolated continent were either extinct or absent in both Atlantis and Occidentia, thus their discovery has triggered and gained attention from the majority of the Hypoemtasian scientific community. One of the few creature that garnered the attention of the Hypoemtasian zoologist community is the Arbrosuchus, one of the only two crocodylomorphs discovered to have adapted to living the life of a tree-dweller.

Unlike its terrestrial cousin, Kasai, the Arbrosuchus made itself home on the lower layers of the forests of Central Afrotasia. This nimble mahajangasuchid measures around 1.2 meter long and weighing between 20 to 30 kilograms. Possessing an extremely flexible body and 2 pairs of limbs well adapted for its arboreal lifestyle, especially its dexterous front limbs tipped with 3 large claws which allows it to anchor itself and hold on to any tree trunk tightly while climbing its way up the tree and a long tail which helps to balance itself as it leaps from tree to tree. As they are seen constantly sticking themselves closely to the trunk of the trees they latched onto, the Arbrosuchus can be regarded as a literal tree hugger. They sport a dark brown body with some of the scales being of a shade of either green, brown or black, making them duller in their body coloration in contrast with the Kasai, however an effective one as it helps to camouflage it from being predated from other predators like pterosaurs and even birds of prey.

Solitary predators, the Arbrosuchus often hunt by themselves as a measure to prevent competing against one another for the same prey. Equipped with a weak jaw packed with needle-like teeth which helps to compensate their weak bite force by puncturing into the flesh of their prey easily, allowing the prey to bleed as fast as possible as it struggles frantically to free itself from the treehugger's bite. Despite the issue of having a weak jaw, it matters not much to the mahajangasuchuds as they rarely hunt on anything larger than them; they tend to pick on easy prey like frogs, lizards, snakes, sometimes birds and even small furry critters. Unlike their large cousin, they are more timid and rarely intrude into any area where humans are present, as they seemed to know that they are no match against them in terms of their physical strength.

The Arbrosuchus is one of the more bizarre creatures that baffles many Hypoemtasian zoologists due to it being an archosaur that practices a lifestyle similar to most tree-dwelling primates, like the spider monkey in our world, save for its carnivorous diet. The most baffling of all, is that the Arbrosuchus is one of the only two crocodylomorphs that seems to have deviated from the usual mahajangasuchid group by adopting an arboreal lifestyle instead of the terrestrial lifestyle their cousins practised. Certainly it is a reminder to many in the world of Hypoemtasia that till this very day, there are still a lot of things around the world that they have no knowledge of.

Based on the Kaprosuchus and the Araripesuchus, with some inspirations drawn from crocodiles climbing trees; inspired by the Arboreal raptor from the Primeval TV series.

Credits to Lediblock2(www.deviantart.com/lediblock2 ) for once again providing me the idea of an araripesuchid-like crocodylomorph!

Back with this piece to show you BOIz and GURLz that my Hypoemtasia Bestiary series isn't dead in any way shape or form! It certain has slowed down significantly due to my studies and tons of other stuff like PROJECT 54 and an upcoming Primeval fan art, and something for the 11th of November

So please hold on to your butts!

More GUUD stuff to come soon!
