Description So this is something I have for an upcoming journal and i'll try my best to fully explain everything there.For now enjoy this duo of Phytosaur genera.Although I will note that nearly every Redondasaurus I've come across is really just a Smilosuchus in disguise.Maybe this can be used as a reference for Redondasaurus since everyone keeps using Smilosuchus for it.Anyways,until next time when I hopefully have a full journal on these terrestrial Phytosaurs posted.

I heard that Nicrosaurus could have been terrestrial, but this is first time I heard that in Redondasaurus. Could you tell me where I can find more information about it

Kimmig(2013) which is the paper that mentions Nicrosaurus's terrestrial ability also describes Redondasaurus with the same features in it's post crania that indicate being secondarily terrestrial.
