酷東西

趣味知識

Ceratosuchops was named in 2021, making it a very recently discovered dinosaur.2

Its name means 'horned crocodile face' because of the bumpy horns above its eyes and its long, crocodile-like snout.1

It lived about 125 to 121 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.2

Ceratosuchops belonged to a group of spinosaurid dinosaurs that often had crocodile-like skulls and may have eaten fish.1

Its fossils were found on the Isle of Wight, a famous place for dinosaur discoveries in England.1

Scientists think Ceratosuchops lived near rivers and hunted like a modern heron, wading in shallow water to catch prey.1
