Suchomimus — size comparison — facts and sources

Suchomimus comes from Cretaceous deposits in present-day Niger. It lived in a much wetter landscape than today’s Sahara, with rivers and numerous vertebrates. Spinosaurid relationships and anatomy indicate fish consumption, although the extent of its diet requires cautious interpretation.

Described in the late twentieth century, it provides an important comparison for Baryonyx.
