Deinosuchus, whose name translates to 'terrible crocodile' in English, is the subject of today's video - this gigantic, ten metre long ambush predator was found across both sides of the Western Interior Seaway in the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, between roughly eighty two and seventy three million years ago. It was an apex predator in the realms it inhabited - coastal waters, estuaries, and wide rivers that cut through the floodplains and forests of ancient North America. Today, we will be examining exactly what this huge reptile was - how did it live, how was it discovered, what did it look like, and how did it hunt?
