Description
The immense sarcosuchus, or dire crocodile, is an enormous predator capable of catching and eating prey as large as the largest dinosaurs.
This reptile lunges out of the placid water with shocking speed. Its jaw gapes open in a roar, its powerful tail lashing behind. This reptilian behemoth, a crocodile of monstrous proportions, is large enough to swallow a horse in one tremendous bite.
