Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.
Reason: A recent description of the skeleton of Postosuchus (Weinbaum, 2013) shows that it had much shorter forelimbs than depicted here. Also, the tail seems to be too long and the feet seem to be too large. There is now strong evidence that Postosuchus was an obligate biped, walking on two legs all the time.
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
