CHOMP! Prehistoric Creatures Add Bite to Stamp Collecting

CHOMP! You can practically feel the powerful jaws clamping shut with a resounding snap. The prehistoric crocodile practically leaps off the page of this recently issued souvenir sheet from Peru. Click the post title to order.

Twenty million years ago, Purussaurus roamed the South American Amazon. The prehistoric crocodile's existence is know only by the massive skull fossils found in Peru. The monster croc's head was five feet long, from the back of its teeth-filled jaw to the tip of its truncated snout. One of the largest crocodile known to have existed, the giant caiman was 37 writhing feet of tail-thrashing caiman and is thought to have weighed more than 6 tons, just a tad less than the fearsome t.rex.
