Suchomimus tenerensis claws and teeth are also in Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia. There is a Mounted Suchomimus skeleton in the Chicago Children's Museum. The Suchomimus in 3D File:Suchomimus-factmonster.jpg Etymology and taxonomic history File:C0013806-Suchomimus dinosaur, artwork-SPL.jpg The overall impression is of a massive and powerful creature that ate very big fish or simliar water-based food and presumably all other sorts of meat (carrion, if nothing else is aviable) more than 100 million years ago, when the Sahara was a lush, swampy habitat. Detailed study shows that the specimen of Suchomimus was a subadult about 10.9 meters (36 ft) in length and weighing between 3-5 tons, but scientists think that it may have grown to about 12.1 meters (40 ft) long and 6 tons, approaching the maximum known size to theropods or carnivorous dinosaurs. Suchomimus also had a tall extension of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more exaggerated form in Spinosaurus. The animal is reminiscent of crocodilians that eat mainly fish, such as the living gharial, a type of large crocodile with a very long, slim snout, from the region of India. The tip of the snout was enlarged and carried a "rosette" of longer teeth. Unlike most large theropods, Suchomimus had a very long, low snout and narrow jaws studded with some 100 teeth, which were not very sharp and curving slightly backward. Including raised dorsal vertabrae, a crocodile like head, and fish hook like claws. Sharing many traits with its larger Spinosaurus.
Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") is a genus of large spinosaurid dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived 112 million years ago, during the late Aptian stage of the Cretaceous Period in Africa.
