Suchomimus is a genus of sizable theropod dinosaurs that inhabited the Early Cretaceous era, roughly 112 to 93.5 million years ago. Classified within the Spinosauridae family, alongside eminent genera such as Spinosaurus and Baryonyx, it was initially unearthed in the Republic of Niger. Its hallmark is a long, slender snout densely lined with sharp, conical teeth that exhibit a gentle backward curve. These teeth, typically measuring about 10 centimeters and edged with serrations, were expertly adapted for seizing and retaining slippery prey, suggesting a primarily piscivorous diet. Detailed paleontological studies of these dental structures have yielded profound insights into the feeding ecology and lifestyle of Suchomimus.
