In addition to the drepanosaurs, the Triassic was home to the phytosaurs, which could easily be mistaken for crocodiles.

除了恐龙之外， 三叠纪还是植物龙的家园，很容易被误认为是鳄鱼。

Likewise, with the disappearance of the phytosaurs, spinosaurids and crocodiles were able to move in to dominate as freshwater predators.

同样， 随着植物龙类的消失，棘龙科和鳄鱼得以迁入并成为淡水捕食者。

In the mid-Triassic, around the world, aquatic ecosystems began to be overrun with swimming reptiles -- from phytosaurs to the first turtles.

在三叠纪中期，世界各地的水生生态系统开始充斥着游泳爬行动物——从植物龙到第一批海龟。

It brought an end to the Triassic Period -- and also the end of about three quarters of the world's species, including the aetosaurs, phytosaurs, and the drepanosaurs.

它结束了三叠纪时期——同时也结束了世界上大约四分之三的物种，包括翼龙、植龙和恐龙。

These reptiles, called phytosaurs, developed long, narrow snouts lined with teeth in just a few million years, thanks in part to the lack of competition for the role of river-dwelling fish-eaters.

这些被称为植物龙的爬行动物在短短几百万年内就长出了又长又窄的鼻子，上面排列着牙齿，这在一定程度上要归功于缺乏对河栖食鱼动物角色的竞争。
