Dintlha tse monate
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
