Aristosuchus was first thought to be a crocodile, but scientists later realized it was a dinosaur.1

The only known fossil of Aristosuchus is a set of bones from the hips and tail, found by a reverend named William D. Fox.1

Its name means 'best crocodile' in Greek, even though it was not a crocodile at all.1

Aristosuchus was about the size of a large dog, around 2 metres (6.6 feet) long.1

It lived on the Isle of Wight, which at the time was a warm, swampy place full of dinosaurs.1

Scientists are not sure exactly how much Aristosuchus weighed; estimates range from 7 to 30 kilograms (15 to 66 pounds).1
