Let's switch it up, which ancient is ultimate? Adaption, drought preparation, predation wise. Not simply which would win one on one.
I gotta go with polypterus, theyve been around since south america and Africa were one, they can death roll chunks off larger prey, have a crushing plate to fit bigger food, can survive droughts quite well etc.
