Suchomimus is a genus of substantial theropod dinosaurs that inhabited the Early Cretaceous period, roughly 112 to 93.5 million years ago. It is classified within the Spinosauridae family, alongside notable genera such as Spinosaurus and Baryonyx. This dinosaur was first identified in the Republic of Niger. A defining characteristic of Suchomimus is its elongated, slender snout, lined with numerous sharp teeth. These conical, slightly recurved teeth were specialized for seizing and retaining slippery prey, suggesting a primarily piscivorous diet focused 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.
