Baru\u00a0darrowi<\/em><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baru<\/em> darrowi <\/em>is an extinct species of Australian mekosuchine crocodilian. The largest known species of Baru<\/em>,\u00a0B. darrowi<\/em> grew to at least 4 metres long.<\/p>\n

Baru darrowi<\/em> is the largest of the four crocodile species found in the Bullock Creek Local Fauna, northwestern Northern Territory. This crocodile was a large-prey specialist, with a particularly large, muscular head and enormous canine-like teeth. It hunted in meandering rivers across northern Australia during the Miocene epoch.<\/p>\n
