I am not having that. It is an interesting view though. But a bipedal croc?
No-way.
If it became croc like it would have returned to quadruped mode for balance, stability and speed. If it remained bipedal it would have become slender faster and probably more intelligent.
A bit like this perhaps:0 -

I agree. That future T-Rex looks like everything except an improvement over the Cretaceous version...
As for the land bats, think they were the inspiration for Primeval's Future Predators? (Which were also flightless bats from some distant future age):

This is what they predicted T. rex would look like if it had survived into modern times.
Oh yes, the gourmand. I think he was meant to be a giant scavenger. The loss of fore limbs is believable but what's up with it's legs and head?
I think The New Dinosaurs is Dixon's weakest book. It's very dated now and a lot of the animals are very unlikely to have evolved. Burrowing snake like theropods for example. Though there are some cool things. I liked the flightless giraffe like pterosaur,the lank, even if it was inaccurate. And Dixon gave many of his dinosaurs coat of fur or feather. The book was published in 1988 maybe 5-10 years before feathered dinosaurs become well known.0 -

I did quite like his take on the 'Jinx', a dromaeosaur that had evolved to look like an ornithopod and use the element of surprise on its prey.
