Description:

A few small objects dimple the surface of a muddy river. They could be rocks, a fallen branch perhaps. Or maybe they are the eyes and snout of a fifty-foot-long dinosaur-eating crocodile. There is no way to tell for certain, and in Deinosuchus territory a thirsty dinosaur is a nervous dinosaur.

The jaws of Deinosuchus, or "terrible crocodile," are as long as a grown man is tall. The lower jaw lacks the sort of fixed socket that humans have, and Deinosuchus can open its mouth wide enough to clamp onto the bellies or legs of all but the biggest hadrosaurs. Deinosuchus' sharp conical teeth are not designed to cut flesh or stab into vital areas, but to pin and trap their prey. After a successful shoreline ambush, Deinosuchus will drag their struggling prey to deeper water to tire and drown it before eating.

Deinosuchus originally lived at the same time as many dinosaurs but is not actually a dinosaur itself. Like modern alligators and crocodiles, Deinosuchus comes from the Crocodylidae family. Once found near rivers, swamps and inland seas from Texas to New Jersey, Deinosuchus still prefers to spend the majority of its life either in or very near the water.

Like the crocodiles of today, Deinosuchus makes an impressive variety of calls, hisses, and cough-like grunts. Starting from the day they hatch, they use these calls to convey distress, to warn or threaten, and, as they grow, to court suitable mates. All this communication does not add up to a polite society however: Deinosuchus will eat their own kind given the chance.

Who do they like to live with and eat?

 

To build a good animal exhibit you need to ask a few questions: (click them for the answers)

Which fence is suitable for this animal in terms of strength, if it can be climbed or jumped over?

How big should the exhibit be and what Terrain should be used?

What foliage should be used?
