Nundasuchus (Nun-dah-su-kuss) is an extinct genus of carnivorous Archosaur that lived in Southern Tanzania during the middle triassic period, 240 million years ago. It was known from a single partially complete skeleton and skull. It walked upright, because it had legs underneath its body to help it run faster.
