The Triassic is well-known for being a brutal time. Giant Pseudosuchians ran amok on land, while Phytosaurs claimed the waters, and harsh conditions in the form of severe droughts made sure that chaos thrived throughout Pangaea. Yet, in this seemingly hopeless world, where not even dinosaurs were safe, a small and fragile dinosaur was still able to survive and prosper. However, this seemingly harmless creature was also hiding a dark secret, that it was a cannibal!
