Koolasuchus was a giant temnospondyl amphibian (almost as big as the modern American crocodile and bigger than any of the modern amphibians) that lived in the Mid-Cretaceous period (106 MYA) and was featured in the 5th episode of Walking with Dinosaurs.

| - Koolasuchus was a giant temnospondyl amphibian (almost as big as the modern American crocodile and bigger than any of the modern amphibians) that lived in the Mid-Cretaceous period (106 MYA) and was featured in the 5th episode of Walking with Dinosaurs.
- Koolasuchus was an Early Cretaceous dinosaur that lived in Australia and Antarctica, both joined together and near the pole at the time.
- Koolasuchus (AKA Pappy) is a giant salamander that lived in a lake filled with Kool Aid.
- Koolasuchus was named in 1997 from the Aptian Strzelecki Group of the Wonthaggi Formation in Victoria.[5] It is known from four fragments of the lower jaw and several postcranial bones, including ribs, vertebrae, a fibula, and parts of the pectoral girdle. A jawbone was found in 1978 in a fossil site known as the Punch Bowl near the town of San Remo. Later specimens were found in 1989 on the nearby Rowell's Beach. A partial skull is also known but has not been fully prepared. Koolasuchus was named for the palaeontologist Lesley Kool. The name is also a pun on the word "cool" in reference to the cold climate of its environment.[6] The type species K. cleelandi is named after geologist Mike Cleeland.[1]
- Koolasuchus was a large Cretaceous amphibian that lived on the continent of Australia. It was a carnivo whose diet included turtles, clams and crayfish. Koolasuchus was a member of the Temnospondyli order of amphibians and specifically of the Chigutisauridae family. It lived in the rift valley where southern Australia was starting to split from Antarctica, and perhaps elsewhere. It is notable both because it was one of the largest temnospondyls, and because it survived long after its cousins further north had become extinct.
- Koolasuchuses are encountered on the 6th floor in the second stratum. Koolasuchuses aren't really dangerous. They are able to do some damage when first encountered and they do have Chomp, which is an upgraded normal attack, but after a short while they will just fall off powerwise.
