Wahasuchus is an extinct genus of engimatic mesoeucrocodylian, likely a neosuchian, of the Middle Campanian age found in the Quseir Formation, Egypt.

Given its incomplete nature, it is not entirely clear what its closest relatives are, though features of the skull including its generally flattened morphology akin to that of modern crocodiles suggests it was part of the clade Neosuchia.

At the same time however, Saber and colleagues highlight that the snout of Wahasuchus was massively built, with the individual elements being relatively expanded giving some depth to the rostrum.

As is common in many neosuchians, the premaxillary toothrow is followed immediately by a toothless region marked by a large notch, which when the jaws are closed serves to receive the enlarged fourth dentary tooth.

[2] The jugal preserves the typical triradiate anatomy of crocodyliforms with a broad anterior and narrow posterior as well as a contribution to the postorbital bar, which separates the eyesockets and the infratemporal fenestra.

Among the diagnostic features of Wahasuchus is that the region where the dorsal lamina meets the postorbital bar bears a rugose depression or fossa.

The dorsal laminae is among the elements that participate in forming the supratemporal fenestra and on the outer edge it bears a point of attachment for the musculature of the ear.

[2] Various elements of the postcranial skeleton have been found and described for Wahasuchus, including vertebrae of the body and tail, a partial upper arm bone, a femur and parts of a tibia.

[2] Tho the size of Wahasuchus is not explicitly stated in the original description, a later conference abstract by Saber and colleagues described it as "large".

[3] A wide range of different crocodyliforms are known from the Cretaceous of North Africa, with continental deposits of the Aptian and Albian heavily featuring notosuchians like peirosaurids, uruguaysuchids and even mahajangasuchids in addition to neosuchians like Stomatosuchus, Sarcosuchus and Elosuchus.

[2] Wahasuchus is notable not only due to it being distinct from any of the major groups recognized from the Cretaceous of North Africa, but also since it does not bear any resemblance to the many specialised neosuchians that inhabited Europe around the same time either.

Angiosperms were the dominant terrestrial fauna at the time as revealed by fossil pollen from the Bulaq area, especially the genera Foveotricolpites and Arecipites, though the flora also featured pteridophytes like ferns, aquatic plants and green algae.

Accordingly, the environment has been proposed to have featured Overall this combination of plants suggests that the Formation experienced a warm and humid climate, possibly tropical or subtropical, though periods of somewhat dryer conditions may have also occurred.

[6] The generalized platyrostral snout shape, which Wahasuchus shares with a great many neosuchians including most modern crocodilians, was likely aquired convergently to these animals and would suggest a similar lifestyle.

This suggests that it likely spend much of its time in the water and had opportunistic feeding preferences, its prey possibly including turtles, fish and various land vertebrates.
