 "Prestosuchus" lived during the Middle Triassic in what is now Brazil.Initially it was estimated to be around 5 meters (17 feet) but a specimen discovered in 2010 suggest that "Prestosuchus" reached lengths of nearly 7 meters (23 feet) making it one of the largest Triassic pseudosuchians alongside "Saurosuchus" and "Fasolasuchus".
