12 feet tall and weighing five tons, a carnivorous Suchomimus wanders a beach on the ancient Tethys Ocean 115 million years ago in search of her next meal. A ferocious predator nearly as big as T-Rex with a crocodile-like head, Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") may have lived largely on fish and carrion in what today is Northern Africa.
