Suchomimus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 112 to 93.5 million years ago. It belongs to the family Spinosauridae, which includes other well-known dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus and Baryonyx. Suchomimus was first discovered in the Republic of Niger.
Suchomimus is characterized by its elongated, narrow snout lined with numerous sharp teeth. These conical, gently recurved teeth were specialized for grasping and securing slippery prey, suggesting that Suchomimus primarily subsisted on a piscivorous diet, focusing mainly on fish.
The teeth of Suchomimus have been extensively studied by paleontologists to understand its feeding habits and ecology. The tooth morphology provides valuable insights into the diet and lifestyle of this dinosaur. The teeth are typically around 10 centimeters (4 inches) long and are serrated along the edges, which would have aided in gripping slippery prey.
