TERRESTRIAL LIFE DURING THE NEOGENE PERIOD
Reptiles
A large part of the Neogene period was dominated by gigantic crocodiles, which still never quite managed to match the size of their Cretaceous forebears. This 20-million-year span also witnessed the continuing evolution of prehistoric snakes and (especially) prehistoric urtles, the latter of which began to reach truly impressive proportions by the start of the Pleistocene epoch.
