Habitat:Mainly rainforest and forested plains.
Description: P.orentalis is one of the more robust of the genus Pantherosuchus, and more or less the most robust Arbrosuchoid known, adults can get up to 5 feet at the shoulder, with an average body length of 20 feet from nose to tail tip. They have a prominent hump at the base of their tails used mostly in display. The False ears on their heads are fairly plain. Their scales are mostly brown, with Maroon or Mahogany face markings. one of the More notable features are the large sabers that are the 4th and 5th teeth in the top jaw. Scales are fairly smooth except for those at the end of the tail and atop the hump.
Notes: one of the youngest Species of Epicephaleans, Rare like most other Pantherosuchans. Numbers are growing though.
Behavior: Considering the rarity, it can often be hard to record their behavior, mostly being out competed by Rauisuchids, the dominant land predators. P. orientalis is solitary, like most other Pantherosuchans, and will only be seen together during the mating season and caring for young, were males will look after young as females will hunt for the entire group. Males are territorial between each other, often dueling for territory and mates.
Breeding Behavior: The mating season for these animals aren't really defined, as the rarity of this predator means that they will likely only see a few dozen others in their lifetime. Males will mostly use their Humps to attract mates, showing how healthy he is. If she Accepts him, they will live together till the young grow up, then they will split ways.
