Charles Barkley sized reptile once stalked Brazilian forests

Found this article online today about an Armadillo-like crocodile that once roamed the area now known as Sao Paulo, Brazil. 6 1/2-feet-long and roughly 265-lbs, this Charles Barkley sized reptile lived during the Cretaceous period. The article states that the animal was "armadillo-like" but doesn't say whether it could role itself up into a ball and hide in it's carapace. Imagine a crocodile that could roll itself into a ball!
