being preyed upon by 
Saurosuchus. Not only does their 
size protect them, but the fact 
they travel in large herds helps 
discourage carnivores from 
hunting them. As such, they are 
quite docile. I will travel with this 
herd for a while to learn more 
about them.

I discovered today that these 
Ischigualastia love Cladophlebis! 
As a test, I collected some and 
held it out to see if they would 
come. Sure enough, one 
approached and followed me until 	
it was able to eat what I had. Due 
to their docile nature, and their 
hunger for Cladophlebis, it may be
 
possible to mount them, and guide 
them somehow.

On my return trip from the river, I 
witnessed one of the most 
terrifying sights here in 
Ischigualasto. Laying down in the 
underbrush was a sleeping 
Saurosuchus. While the apex 
predator of the area, they spend 
most of their time sleeping. These 
ancient crocodilian ancestors rule 
the area and gladly prey upon the 
largest animals, such as 
Ischigualastia and Sillosuchus. 
Luckily it was only sleeping, or I 
wouldn't be writing this right now.
