- Aegisuchus (Up to 15 Meters/49 feet). The Largest Crocodile Ever Lived on Earth
Sarcosuchus, popularly known as the “super croc”is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and a distant relative of the crocodile that lived 112 million years ago. Most sources on the web claim that the Sarcosuchus imperator was the biggest prehistoric crocodile that ever lived, but recent findings suggest that it was not the case. Recent estimates sugg...
Euthecodon brumpti was a large slender-snouted fish-eating crocodile, that was common in the lakes and rivers of Lake Turkana (Kenya) between 1 and 8 million years ago, during the Neogene. A particularly large specimen of this crocodile found at Lothagam on the west side of Lake Turkana dated to some 4 million years, was estimated to (as explained ...
Purussaurus was actually a caiman(see notes 1). It lived in South America during the Miocene epoch, 8 million years ago. It is known from skull material found in the Brazilian, Colombian, and Peruvian Amazonia, and northern Venezuela. Purussaurus is one of the largest known crocodyliformsever to have existed. Its body length is estimated at up to ...
Previously, it was believed that the Rhamphosuchus was the largest prehistoric crocodile ever, but not anymore: for many years scientists believed that it was one of the largest, if not the largest crocodylian that ever lived, reaching an estimated length of 15 to 18 meters (49 to 59 feet) and 20 tons in weight. However, a more recent study suggest...
One of the largest prehistoric crocodiles, Mourasuchus is an extinct genus of giant crocodilians from the Miocene of South America. With an estimated length of up to twelve meters long, Mourasuchus was one of the biggest crocodiles of all time. However, despite this gigantic size, it had a relatively weak jaw and skull construction combined wit...
Deinosuchus is an extinct genus related to the alligator that lived 80 to 73 million years ago (Ma), during the late Cretaceous period. The name translates as “terrible crocodile” and is derived from the Greek deinos, “terrible”, and soukhos, “crocodile”. The first remains were discovered in North Carolina (United States) in the 1850s; the genus wa...
Aegisuchus lived during the Late Cretaceous (100.5-66 million years ago). It is only known from a partial braincase, but even that part gives hints about its enormous size: its braincase is much larger in volume than that of any other crocodyliform (about 40 cm3 or 2.44 cubic inches). Based on this volume, we can compare the ratio of braincase to s...
"Supercroc" is the sixth and final/latest episode of Prehistoric Park. Nigel Marven heads to prehistoric Texas to find a Deinosuchus, the largest crocodile of all time. The park will continue to have trouble with some of its residents. The episode starts in the park near the Time Portal site...
Deinosuchus (name meaning "Terrible crocodile") is a genus of giant crocodilian that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous period. It might have preyed on both aquatic and terrestrial organisms such as sea turtles and fish, and large dinosaurs like hadrosaurs and theropods.
In the park, near the time portal site there is a crocodile enclosure: Bob walks across a suspension bridge to feed the Nile crocodiles in the lake. Nigel plans to add a Deinosuchus , an ancient species of giant crocodilian which measures 50 feet long and weighs up to 9 tons, to the park.
