Erythrosuchus is a large species of carnivorous, crocodile-like reptile that lived during the Triassic era. It has been a star of the series Life on Our Planet.

Its prey included dicynodonts, such as Lystrosaurus. It may have come into contact with two other predators that lived during the same time and place: Proterosuchus and Cynognathus.

To date, Erythrosuchus has appeared in famous media such as Life on Our Planet and The Lost Spider-Pit Sequence. In The Lost Spider-Pit Sequence, a female individual is shown attacking the sailors of the Venture, and it's inaccurately named as a giant lizard in the movie. Life on Our Planet depicts a group of male Erythrosuchus.

Its diet only consists of meat.
