Suchomimus, means "Crocodile mimic" is a genus of spinosaurid that lived in Egypt,Africa during early cretaceous period."It was a dinosaur trying hard to be a crocodile," says paleontologist Paul Sereno after he discovered a Suchomimus tenerensis
during an expedition to Africa. It had a long snout filled with teeth
that seem designed to catch fish. Long, powerful arms ended in
three-fingered hands with huge claws, which would have been useful for
holding on to large gar fish, which may have made up part of its diet.
It probably would swim after fish or catch them on land similar to a
grizzly bear and then kill it using its massive arms.Suchomimus lived 105 million years ago and this skeleton is the most complete in existence of any of the spinosaur family of dinosaurs.
