The Croc That Ran on Hooves

Our Pocket Shirt!: https://store.dftba.com/collec....tions/eons/products/

In the Eocene Epoch, there was a reptile that had teeth equipped for biting through flesh, its hind legs were a lot longer than its front legs and instead of claws, its toes were each capped with hooves. How did this living nightmare come to evolve?
