Dinosaurs: mmp, mouth bigger than mine
Please observe a moment of silence for the dinosaurs in three regions of the following three periods:
Africa in the early Cretaceous Period, North America at the end of the Cretaceous Period, South America during the Late Miocene;
Because they encountered the three largest and fiercest crocodiles in history: the emperor crocodile, the dinosaur crocodile, and the Prussian crocodile.
The emperor crocodile, the emperor of crocodiles, literally means "muscle crocodile". They were born in Early Cretaceous Africa and are one of the three largest crocodiles that have ever survived. According to the fossil inferences from the current excavations, the emperor crocodile is about 8-13 meters long, weighs 4-8 tons, and with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth and up to 1.8 meters long, even a small dinosaur will be torn into pieces in an instant.
Imperial crocodile restoration model
Crocodiles, meaning "giant crocodiles of terror" in Greek, are a type of alligator that lived on the eastern coast of North America during the late Cretaceous period. Crocodiles are one of the three largest crocodiles ever seen in history, feeding on small dinosaurs and large fish. Researchers have found several fossils of duck-billed dragon's tail vertebrae near the national park in Texas, USA, with crocodile tooth marks, which shows that crocodiles can hunt dinosaurs on the shore.
In 1954, biologist Ned Colbert estimated that the crocodile could reach 15 meters in length based on fossils of the crocodile's jaws about 2 meters long. But after the excavation of more crocodile fossils, other biologists have put forward different opinions, that the crocodile should be about 12 meters long, weighing about 7 tons, even so, can kill any existing crocodile.
Fossil restoration model of the crocodile
The Prussian crocodile has only entered the field of scientists in recent years, but their fossils were discovered more than 100 years ago, and thus spliced together the largest crocodile mouth in history, up to 2 meters long. The Prus crocodile lived 8 million years ago during the Late Miocene, and its maximum body length is about 11.5 meters, weighing about 5.5 tons, making it one of the three largest crocodiles ever built.
Contrast with the modern crocodile mouth
These three giant crocodiles have taken advantage of the time and place, and have pushed an era with their huge size.
But once climate change causes insufficient food and cannot satisfy their huge appetite, they can only drink and hate.
Pay attention to the fish in Gusu, may you have more than one year.
