Deinosuchus was a huge prehistoric crocodile that lived about 80 to 73 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

It was related to modern alligators and caimans, but much larger, reaching lengths of up to 10 meters (33 feet) and weights of up to 10 tons.

It had a long, robust skull with powerful jaws and large, conical teeth that were adapted for crushing.

Its back was covered with thick, bony armor plates called osteoderms, which gave it a rough appearance.

Deinosuchus was a fearsome predator that could attack and eat large dinosaurs, as well as fish, turtles, and other prey.

Its name means "terrible crocodile" in Greek.
