Species: R. estuarinus, R. robustaradul



This genus with a trident-like tail in the males is the largest of the family. These are animals with a durophagous and partially herbivorous diet, which feed on the hard roots of semi-aquatic plants, on the bones of carcasses and on sessile Ventripoda similar to bivalves. To break shells and bones it fused together the two pairs of central jointed jaws and thickened the lateral jointed jaws in order to exert more force, strengthening their muscles and the crushing surface.
The radular proboscis is short in this genus, and is mainly used to collect sessile Vetripoda from the bottom and grind the already broken hard parts into a digestible mush. Unlike other Tripods, the teeth of the radular proboscis are flat and wide, and when chewing they practice a mortar-pestle movement rather than cut-suction like almost all the other Tripods.
They are rather slow swimmers and one of the largest creatures of Nerva's rivers and seas with almost no predators.

Radulophytophagasuchus estuarinus: "Estuarin Root-Eating Radular Crocodile": widespread in the coastal and estuarine areas of the pluvial peninsula, the males are ~7 meters long while the females ~6.45 meters. The eggs, ~75, are laid in holes dug in the sandy banks and hatch after ~124 Earth days. Both sexes can live for ~45 Earth years (top from top);

Radulophytophagasuchus robustaradul "Root-Eating Robust-Radul Crocodile": widespread in the coral reefs of sessile Gelatinoida in the seas around the bridge of Gnoll, the males are ~8 meters long while the females ~7.20 meters, representing the largest member of the genus. They are the least herbivorous species, incorporating mainly Ventripoda and sessile Gelatinoids into their diet. The eggs, ~82, are laid in holes dug in the sandy banks and hatch after ~156 Earth days. Both sexes can live for ~49 Earth years (second from top).
