Suchomimus (meaning "crocodile mimic") is a genus of large, predatory theropod dinosaur that lived during the mid-Cretaceous period, around 112 to 98 million years ago. Its fossils have been found in Niger, in West Africa.
Suchomimus was a spinosaurid, a group of theropods known for their long, narrow snouts, which were likely used for catching fish. It was a relatively large dinosaur, estimated to have been around 30 feet (9 meters) long and weighing up to 7 tons. Its skull was around 4 feet (1.2 meters) long, and it had a distinctive, sail-like structure on its back made of elongated spines that would have been used for display or thermoregulation.
The teeth of Suchomimus were conical and unserrated, similar to those of modern crocodiles. This suggests that it primarily fed on fish, but it may have also preyed on other animals, such as small dinosaurs or pterosaurs.
Suchomimus is known from a nearly complete skeleton, which was discovered in 1997 by a team of paleontologists from the State University of New York. This specimen is now housed at the National Museum of Niger in Niamey. Other fossils of Suchomimus have also been found in the same region, including partial skulls, teeth, and isolated bones.
