ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Indosuchus is known only from a few skull bones, so scientists are still learning about it.1

Its name means 'Indian crocodile', even though it was a dinosaur, not a crocodile.1

Indosuchus lived about 70 to 66 million years ago, right before the dinosaurs went extinct.1 2

At first, scientists thought Indosuchus was related to Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus, but now they know it was an abelisaurid.1

Indosuchus had a crested skull that was flattened on top, which helped tell it apart from other dinosaurs.1

Indosuchus fossils were found in India, near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, in rocks of the Lameta Formation.4 2

?Why is it called Indosuchus?

Its name means 'Indian crocodile' in Greek, because it was found in India and its skull reminded scientists of a crocodile. But it was a dinosaur, not a crocodile.4 2

?Did Indosuchus have feathers?

Nobody knows for sure. No feathers have been found with Indosuchus fossils, and since it was an abelisaurid, it might have had scales like other abelisaurids.4
