		Mekosuchines aren't regarded as a distinct 'family' anymore, incidentally (as was proposed by Buffetaut and Balouet).
		So whether mekosuchines owe their distribution to dispersal or vicariance, we can be quite confident that they inhabited islands in the south-west Pacific where their presence has yet to confirmed.
		Given the fact that most crocodiles are very opportunistic, I could also imagine that this animals hunted probably at least some of the flightless birds of their home-islands.

	Australia's Lost Kingdoms - Cleaver-headed Crocodile
		Description: The Cleaver-headed Crocodile is one of the largest of an extinct group of crocodiles called mekosuchines.
		It lived in and around pools of fresh water bounded by wet forest, where it ambushed its prey - consisting of anything this frightening reptile could catch, from insects to the largest marsupials.
		Relationships between mekosuchine crocodiles and living crocodiles are unclear, so it is hard to say which crocodile is the Cleaver-headed Crocodile's closest living relative.
