On July 16, 1999, 20th Century Fox released an R-rated horror monster movie called LakePlacid Chinese translated as "Prehistoric Crocodile" which was executive director steve Meyner and starred Brigitte Fonda and Bill Pullman. The storyline tells the story of a number of mysterious deaths in the ancient lake in Maine, which caused paleontologists, national animal protection authorities, conservationists, and police officers to arrive at the ancient lake to investigate, and when these people dived to the bottom of the lake, they encountered a huge crocodile. The big crocodile began to kill with impunity, causing everyone to endanger themselves. The giant crocodile in the play is the largest crocodile that lived in the early Cretaceous Period about 110 million years ago, the emperor crocodile.
The emperor crocodile (genus name Sarcosuchus), also known as the muscle crocodile, the emperor crocodile, meaning "muscle crocodile", is an extinct crocodile. They lived in Early Cretaceous Africa and were one of the largest type of crocodile reptiles that survived in the past, with a body length of 8-13 meters and a weight of 4-11 tons, which was completely comparable to that of the theropod dinosaurs of the time.
Authoritative experts say that the emperor crocodile fed on large aquatic animals and dinosaurs in the Cretaceous Period. The protruding jaws and strong teeth are used to catch and crush prey, and their main prey may be large animals and dinosaurs, basically sleeping in the shade of the forest or diving on the bottom of the lake during the day, and then going out to forage at night. It is excellent at diving and can lurk at the bottom of the lake for about 10 hours. If it encounters enemies or hunts food on land, it can jump and grab, and when it can't, its huge tail can still sweep violently, and it is a reptile king who is difficult to deal with. Its flaw is that although it has teeth that look sharp and axe-like, it is grooved teeth, which can quickly grow again after falling down, regretting that it cannot bite and chew food. This makes its strong and growing jaw function greatly reduced, unable to bite and chew, and can only "clamp" the food like pliers and swallow it. Therefore, when the emperor crocodile pounces on the relatively large terrestrial animals, it cannot bite them directly, but instead drags them into the water and drowns; on the contrary, when the emperor crocodile pounces on the relatively large aquatic animals, it throws them to the ground, so that the prey dies due to lack of oxygen.
Some people will ask who is more powerful than the Tyrannosaurus rex of that time?
In the case of water battles, ambush battles Tyrannosaurus rex undoubtedly fight can not win the emperor crocodile . Even if he saw the Emperor Crocodile, his movements in the water were not very dexterous, and the Emperor Crocodile was much faster than him, so there was no doubt that the Water Battle Tyrannosaurus Rex was going to rest. On the ground, the Emperor Crocodile only relies on his short hands and feet to move, there is no doubt that the speed is slow, the Tyrannosaurus Rex can observe the Emperor Crocodile digging out his death hole, issuing a deadly attack, and killing the Emperor Crocodile! Let's compete between two species.
Fortunately, the cruel crocodile has long been extinct, otherwise the old ancestors of mankind would have suffered.
