Suchomimus represents a genus of substantial theropod dinosaurs that roamed the Early Cretaceous epoch, dating from approximately 112 to 93.5 million years ago. This genus is classified within the Spinosauridae family, which encompasses distinguished taxa such as Spinosaurus and Baryonyx. The inaugural discovery of Suchomimus specimens was made in the Republic of Niger.

One of the most distinctive features of Suchomimus is its long, narrow snout filled with numerous sharp teeth. These teeth were adapted for catching and holding onto slippery prey, indicating that Suchomimus was likely a piscivorous dinosaur, primarily feeding on fish. The teeth of Suchomimus are conical in shape and slightly recurved, meaning they curve backward slightly. 

Paleontologists have closely examined Suchomimus teeth to uncover details about how this dinosaur fed and lived. The shape and structure of its teeth reveal important clues about its diet and behavior. Usually about 10 centimeters (4 inches) long, these teeth feature serrated edges that help Suchomimus hold onto slippery prey with ease.
