The fossils of five bizarre-looking crocodiles which roamed the world 100 million years ago have been unearthed in the Sahara desert.
The five now-extinct species — dubbed BoarCroc, RatCroc, DogCroc, DuckCroc and PancakeCroc because of their strange appearances — were ancestors of the modern-day reptiles and evolved at the same time as dinosaurs.
A documentary about the finding, "When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs", will premiere on National Geographic Channel in Australia in February 2010.
