"Pelvic form four" shows several aspects that are convergent with the hip of sebecosuchians and thus could have supported a pillar-erect stance while limiting a sprawling gait. Stein and colleagues note that this derived state, primarily achieved by the more enclosed acetabulum and expanded iliac crest, would match the cursorial habits and terrestrial lifestyle often inferred based on the cranial material. However, until more material showing a clear relation between this pelvic form and 7482: 3943:, each likely occupying a different niche in their environment. Although it has been proposed that this assemblage could have been the result of the carcasses of these animals being transported to a single location, research suggests that this was not the fact and that all the animals did in fact inhabit a single locality at the time they were alive. In this case, it was probably due to their different specialisation that so many crocodilians were capable of coexisting with each other. 3823:, together with Megalania, could have been one of the dominant terrestrial predators of Pleistocene Australia, given the relative lack of large mammalian land predators compared to other continents. This had become a popular hypothesis during the later part of the 20th century, proposing that Australia's top predators primarily consisted of reptiles such as mekosuchines, giant varanids and madtsoiid snakes rather than marsupial predators, with Max Hecht arguing that animals such as 1291:, but it also does in the Texas Caves cranium assigned to the genus by Molnar. Willis and Mackness also discuss the matter, arguing that the fact that the contact between maxilla and jugal on the inner side of the skull sits before the eyes means the external suture must have been located even further to the front. A feature of the jugal consistently highlighted is that the lower (ventral) side of the jugal was covered in a distinct sculptured area similar to that seen in today's 6642: 1494:. An exception to this is posed by the fourth dentary tooth, which slides neatly into a marked notch located at the premaxillary-maxillary contact. Like in many other mekosuchines, there is a distinct size disparity among the teeth, some of which are noticeably larger than others. The teeth towards the front of the jaw tend to be much taller, but are short anteroposteriorly (from the front to the back), whereas the teeth further back are lower but longer horizontally. 1295:. Furthermore, the depth the maxilla still displays in this region indicates that the infraorbital bar, the region between the lower margin of the eyesockets and the bottom of the cranium, was much deeper than is typical. The postorbital bar, a bony peg behind the eyes that connects the jugal to the skull table, is noted to be much more vertical than in taxa with flattened skulls. This would suggest that the skull table would somewhat overhang the temporal region. 148: 861: 3740: 1408:, forming a partition located above the fenestrae and giving them a more rounded shape. By contrast, the fossae extend much further forward in modern Australasian crocodiles, giving their palatal fenestrae a more sharp ending. As the palatines contribute to this wall, it is described as a "folding of the palatine" by Dirk Megirian. Overall, the palatal fenestrae extend until the fifth or sixth maxillary alveoli in 126: 6647: 1697: 1624: 557:. The fossil specimen (AMF.57844) consisted of a partial rostrum, lacking the very tip of the snout and its teeth. This rostrum was noted for its unusual form, with a much deeper snout compared to extant crocodilians and toothsockets indicative of ziphodont teeth, a combination of traits previously unknown from Australia. Preliminary comparisons were made with modern 4179:, with the other river basins of eastern Australia following suit within the next eight thousand years. During this time the conditions fell below the levels seen today, marking a clear drop in rainfall and thus cutting off the water supply of the catchments. Though the hydroclimate returned to its former state sometime in the last 30.000 years, by then the 4110:, whether it was terrestrial or not, appears to have been closely linked to freshwater systems, in particular those surrounded by riparian woodland and vine forests, typically sharing this environment with a plethora of other crocodilians.
