The Spinosaur's unleashed part five Suchomimus Thursday




The Suchomimus showed more accurate reconstruction of its potentially much larger relative Spinosaurus. Suchomimus seem to be between Baryonyx and Spinosaurus because it develop a tall neural spines along it's dorsal vertebrae. This carnivore/piscivore was about 10 meters long, but the adults were likely larger. Suchomimus like all spinosaur's had that crocodile like skull. As a living animal Suchomimus lived in a semi aquatic environments and would have hunted for fish, like in river deltas and lagoons of the Cretaceous Africa. However Suchomimus did not rely on fish, it go to dinosaurs and pterosaurs. But what is unknown is if Suchomimus hunted dinosaurs or was a scavenger.
