Based on the latest research, it is known that reptiles known as erythrosuchids may have evolved into creatures with large heads when they became "hypercarnivores".
A paleobiology expert from the Faculty of Geography, Earth, and Environment at the University of Birmingham, England, namely Professor Richard Butler, stated that with a very strong jaw and "sharp teeth like steak knives", this ancient creature occupies the top position in their ecosystem food chain.
Based on the latest research, it turns out that the heads of erythrosuchids have larger proportions compared to their body size, when compared to the head-to-body ratio of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs.
The creature erythrosuchids existed in the time range between 250 million and 238 million years ago, which took place during the early Triassic period (251 million to 199 million years ago), as quoted by Live Science.

The discovery confirms that proportionally, the heads of erythrosuchids are larger compared to other reptiles. This feature may have developed when this group adapted as hypercarnivores, which are animals that only eat meat, to fill an ecological niche.
