Goniopholididae is an extinct family of crocodile-like reptiles that lived during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, approximately 150 to 100 million years ago. These creatures were primarily found in Europe and North America and are known for their semi-aquatic lifestyle, which allowed them to thrive in both freshwater and terrestrial environments. Goniopholidids had a unique body structure, featuring a long, flattened snout and robust limbs, which made them efficient swimmers and capable of moving on land. Their diet likely consisted of fish and small terrestrial animals, showcasing their adaptability to various habitats during their time on Earth.
