Extinction. The Sarcosuchus went extinct around 95 to 115 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period. It was unclear why the species became extinct, though scientists believed it was because of the lack of food. The “super croc” went extinct roughly around the same time that the dinosaurs did.
Nicknamed “SuperCroc,” the fossils belong to an extinct animal first discovered by French palaeontologist Albert-Felix de Lapparent and named Sarcosuchus imperator (“flesh crocodile emperor”) in 1966 by France de Broin and fellow palaeontologist Philippe Taquet.
Deinosuchus (/ˌdaɪnəˈsjuːkəs/) is an extinct genus of alligatoroid crocodilian, related to modern alligators and caimans, that lived 82 to 73 million years ago (Ma), during the late Cretaceous period.
So we may never know if Deinosuchus actually ate a T. rex, but the 33-foot monster with crushing jaws would probably have no problem with one. The marks its outsize teeth left on dinosaur bones was indicative of its ferocity (even though bite force was not an objective of the study).
For decades, the people of Lake Tanganyika in Burundi have been terrorized by an enormous man-eating crocodile known as Gustave. The Nile crocodile is rumored to have killed over 300 people and has earned legendary status in the area along the Rusizi River.
Giant Hunter from Ancient Big Bend Swamps
These are among the largest crocodiles ever known. With lengths of 40–50 feet and jaws studded with 6-inch teeth, these powerful predators were extraordinarily equipped to feed upon a variety of dinosaurs.

Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex did not live on the earth at the same time. Giganotosaurus was bigger and faster, but T-Rex had a stronger bite force and more teeth. In a fight between Giganotosaurus and T-Rex, the Tyrannosaurus would win.
According to reports, Giganotosaurus measured between 40 to 43 feet in length and weighed nearly 14 tons. From the top of its head to its toes, the dinosaur measured up to 23 feet, making it one of the largest land carnivores ever, larger than the T-Rex.
Cuban crocs, an endemic species found only here and in a swamp on Cuba's Isle of Youth, are critically endangered and have the smallest natural habitat left of any living crocodile species, scientists say.
Fewer than 100 non-hatchling Philippine crocodiles remain in the wild with only 10 adults occurring in Luzon Island. Without urgent conservation action the Philippine crocodile will become extinct. The species occurs nowhere else on Earth.
Some species of crocodiles also exhibit very advanced behaviors. One of such is the Australian freshwater crocodile. The reptile in question can scale trees – a pretty advanced behavior for such an animal.
Mr Scott said Cassius's estimated age of 120 years was based on international research on large reptiles. Cassius holds the Guinness World Record since 2011 for the biggest croc in captivity.
A fossil found in the African desert is the biggest of its kind. The biggest sea-dwelling crocodile ever found has turned up in the Tunisian desert. The whopper of a prehistoric predator grew to over 30 feet long (nearly ten meters) and weighed three tons.
SCOTTBURH, South Africa — Henry is kept at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The crocodile arrived at the nature preserve in 1985, when he was already 85 years old.
In a T-Rex vs Spinosaurus fight, the T-Rex would come away victorious. The Spinosaurus does have the benefit of being able to ambush a T-Rex at the edge of the water, and that might be the lone scenario where the T-Rex loses.
Indominus rex would beat a Tyrannosaurus Rex in a fight. The I-rex was built to be the most powerful predator on the planet, and we have a very good simulation in the form of Jurassic World of what would happen in such a fight, and it's not good for the T-rex.
“Tyrannosaurus rex remains the one true king of the dinosaurs,” said paleontologist Steve Brusatte, study coauthor of the latest analysis and professor at The University of Edinburgh's School of Geosciences in Scotland, in a news release.
rex is murdered by a Giganotosaurus and a mosquito drinks its blood – the same mosquito found in amber and whose dino DNA is used to clone the T. rex who later stands victorious at the end of “Dominion.”
Alan Grant found the boat's flare gun in the riverbed near the entrapment and shot the Spinosaurus with it.
Bizarre 500-toothed dinosaur
Nigersaurus, you might remember, we named for bones collected on the last expedition here three years ago. This sauropod (long-necked dinosaur) has an unusual skull containing as many as 500 slender teeth.
The biggest croc ever found, at 8.6m (28ft). Shot by a hunter in Queensland, Australia in 1957. Wendy Richards and 5,459 others like this.
The Australian saltwater crocodile is one of the most aggressive and dangerous crocodiles. It is also the largest living reptile, exceeding the Komodo dragon in size. Sexual dimorphism (difference) is present in this species, with the females normally growing to more than 3 metres and males normally up to 6 metres.
The largest one ever officially measured was Lolong, who was a saltwater crocodile that measured 20 feet three inches long and weighed 2,370 pounds. Unfortunately, he died of congestive heart failure in February 2013. The largest crocodile alive is Cassius who is over 100 years old.
