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.
A defining characteristic of Suchomimus is its elongated, narrow snout densely lined with sharp teeth. These teeth were specialized for capturing and securing slippery prey, suggesting that Suchomimus was predominantly piscivorous, with a diet largely composed of fish. The teeth exhibit a conical form and are subtly recurved, curving gently backward. Paleontologists have thoroughly examined these teeth to gain a deeper understanding of the dinosaur’s feeding strategies and ecological role. Their morphology offers profound insights into Suchomimus’s dietary preferences and lifestyle. Measuring approximately 10 centimeters (4 inches) in length, these teeth possess serrated edges that enhance their ability to grip elusive prey.
