Deinosuchus
Deinosuchus was a giant crocodile-like reptile that lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 82 to 73 million years ago. It was one of the biggest crocodilian predators ever, growing longer than a school bus! Even though it looked like a crocodile, it was actually more closely related to alligators.1

Deinosuchus could grow over 9 meters (30 feet) long, making it one of the largest crocodilian relatives ever.1
Its back was covered in thick, round bony plates called osteoderms, which acted like armor.1
Scientists think Deinosuchus may have lived for up to 50 years, growing slowly but for a very long time.1
Deinosuchus lived on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway, a huge sea that split North America in two during the Cretaceous.1
Bite marks on dinosaur bones show that Deinosuchus attacked and ate large dinosaurs.2
The first Deinosuchus fossils were found in North Carolina in the 1850s, but the animal was not named until 1909.1
Deinosuchus had a longer skull than modern crocodiles and alligators, and its teeth were built for crushing.1

Yes, its back was covered with thick, round bony plates called osteoderms, which acted like armor.1
?Is Deinosuchus related to alligators?
Yes, Deinosuchus was more closely related to alligators than to crocodiles, though some scientists think it was a stem-group crocodilian.14
?How fast could Deinosuchus run?
Nobody knows for sure, but like modern crocodilians, it was probably a slow runner on land and a fast ambush predator in water.1
Рушител на митови
Мит: Deinosuchus is often thought to be a dinosaur because of its huge size and scary name.
Вистина: Deinosuchus was not a dinosaur. It was a giant relative of alligators and crocodiles, called a crocodylian.1

- The first Deinosuchus fossils were found in North Carolina in the 1850s, but the genus was named in 1909 by William Holland based on fossils from Montana. Later, in the 1940s, more complete remains were found in Texas by an American Museum of Natural History expedition led by Barnum Brown and Roland Bird.12
- Сè уште се дебатира
- Scientists still debate whether Deinosuchus from eastern and western North America were different species or just one species that lived across a wide area.2
