Description
The name I have invented comes from Zulu and Greek and means 'Enormous beloved.'
It is based on the upper jaw discovered in Lesotho, which probably belonged to a huge Temnospondyl measuring approximately 7.5 meters.
The Temnospondyls were an order of Amphibians, which emerged during the early Carboniferous and the most recent known is Koolasuchus discovered in Australia.
Although temnospondyls are amphibians, many had characteristics such as scales and armour-like bony plates that distinguish them from the modern soft-bodied Amphibians.
This enormous Temnospondyl probably hunted like modern Crocodiles from ambush from the water.
Role in When Dinosaurs Roamed Africa: He is shown fulfilling the role of a Crocodile, stalking Massospondylus in the river.
