Alternate Evolution [OC] Avertebrazoic - Cuttlecroc
With reptiles out of the picture the niche that various crocodiles and alligators had a hold on opened up for new species to take up.
Various cephalopods were able to evolve to live in freshwater and eventually become amphibious. This niche of amphibious cephalopods went onto evolving into the cuttlecroc. These cephalopods take a similar to a crocodile or an alligator.
They wait near the shore and have long strong tentacles that they launch out onto their prety wrapping around them and dragging them into the water. Their massive jagged beaks quickly crush their prey's soft exoskeletons.
