What is a super crocodile?
Super crocodile is a prehistoric animal whose previous existence on Earth was first known in the 1950s, when paleontologist Alfred Felix de Lapparent discovered exceptionally large teeth and what seemed to be fossilized bone plates or armor, in the mid -20th century. Lapparent's finding in the blister of Sahara led to the conclusion that a huge crocodile, about ten times the greater weight of the greatest Crocs as soon as he wandered the ground (and water). Super crocodile was given the scientific name with paleontologists and modern herpetologists (reptile specialists) were very interested in finding a more complete skeleton to get more information about super crocodiles. It took a long time to find such a skeleton, and it toney until 2001 that Dr. Paul Sereno and a team of paleontologists found partially a complete skeleton in the Sahara of the desert in Niger.
The proportions of this ancient super crocodile are quite stunning. Skeleton research suggests that supEr Crocs may have weighed up to £ 17,500 or about 8 metric tons (about twice the weight of the elephant) and measured up to 40 feet (12.19 m) in length. The length of the skull itself is extremely impressive; At 6 feet (1.83 m) it was large enough to easily eat most of us in a single sip! The total length is roughly the same as the length of the average collection.
by Dr. Serena was theorized about the habits of a super crocodile. Research suggests that primary food sources were probably large fish, but that Super Croc was also fully able to catch dinosaurs that approached too close to the water. Baspaleontologists today believe about crocodiles research that a super crocodile probably behaved in the same way as modern Crocs when it came across prey partly on the ground. They would mostly hide their bodies in the water and then quickly emerge from the water to grab and grab the noisy dinosaurs at the edge of the water.
From what scientists have gained, super crocodiles have not diminished to today's crocodiles. Instead of a kind of perishUL at the end of the chalk period. It seems that smaller crocodiles have survived this mass extinction and are the forerunners of today's Crocs.
There are still many estimates to the super crocodile, because Sereno's team uncovered 50% of the skeleton. In addition, kicks in the Sahara are physically demanding due to extreme temperatures. If there are more skeletal residues of Super Crocs, it can be very difficult to find. Yet finding a complete skeleton, especially in another area, could provide us with more information about the life of these ancient and fearsome reptiles.
