I remember that docu hyping the sarcosuchus, "it didn't walk with dinosaurs, it ate them"
I would hate to meet either one😂
Not to take anything away from its sheer size, but sarco was just a massive gharial
@@mechwarrior13 I reckon its jaws would snap biting at dinos.
It didn’t walk with dinosaurs, it ate them. Actually that’s the slogan from 2001 natgeo Supercroc doc but feels appropriate here. Mike
right? hyping the sarcosuchus imperator
Right? Hyping the sarcosuchus imperator.
I'm of the opinion that Deinosuchus was likely to be the largest crocodilian to ever walk the Earth. Only with Purussaurus being its closest competitor. Other species just don't seem to come near the sheer weight and bulk those two species have. I believe that while Purussaurus is gargantuan, it was likely to be the largest animal of its environment, with little to no competition or necessity for it to be any larger than it was. While Deinosuchus was a giant living among giants, it would grow to be as big as physically possible in order to take the widest variety of prey in its ecosystem, the Laramidian species being particularly large in order to predate on the larger animals from that side of the Western Interior Seaway.
Multiple species of crocs have been discovered of massive size.
Give it a few more decades we will find other big ones
Big as in heaviest probably. Its a wide boy.
Minor mistake you made. Sarchosuchus was not a crocodilian. It was a crocodilomorph that lived before the first true crocodilians
^ my kinda pedant right here 🤟

Thank you for taking time in making these videos much appreciated
Excellent work, fact-filled and engaging at the same time.
Unlike the other crocodile-like reptiles that have come and gone, Deinosuchus was a true crocodilian, but is more related to alligators than to crocodiles.
I thought you would mention Fadeno's work, not published but quite interesting and solid IMO where he estimates specimens CM 963 and TM 43632-1 could possibly indicate animals 13-14 m TL, 12-15 t, with bite forces arond 130Kn. I recall have read some comments that some neck bones in Deinosuchus were more robust than those in Purussaurus. If all of this is correct, this might make it the true king of the crocodilians. Nice work as always, I laughed at the Hatcher and Schwimmer joke.😂
I see a parallel between Deinosuchus taking the apex predator position in a dinosaurs dominated environment and the Otodus lineage which became successful in cetaceans dominated ecosystems.
"12/15 t" is unreliable or unrealistic
@@rodrigopinto6676 Check Fadeno's work instead of arguing for nothing.
@@francissemyon7971 again is unreliable "size"
@@francissemyon7971 he is a very delusional tyrannosaurus fanboy, there is no point in talking to him
Hey … great video ! You’re rekindling my long buried interest in dinosaurs… do you have a favourite paleo artist ?
Thank you! Really glad I’m reawakening a love for natural history 😊 oooo I can’t say I have a favourite but definitely a top 3 in no particular order: Fred Weirum, Emily Willoughby and Mark P. Witton 😃
@@dino-gen I still think Raul Martin's "Deinosuchus attacks Albertosaurus" for National Geographic 2009 is the best paleoart work I've ever seen, it is so realistic and dynamics - you can actually see Deinosuchus clamps its jaws on the dinosaur.
You’re right, that is an awesome piece 😎
Amazing video…! Your videos make for such interesting breaks in my day. Your way of speech intrigues me in prehistoric animals.
Deinosuchus was the king of crocodylians, 10-12 m long and 5-8.5 t. I recommend the book "King of Crocodylians: Paleobiology of Deinosuchus" by Prof. David R. Schwimmer, it is from 2002 and I hope he will write an updated additions, especially after Brochu and Cossett paper from 2020.
Nice, a deino episode!
Distractingly cute... Watching these clip out of sequence makes you notice the frequent hair style changes, parted left to right and back, shaggy and long, short and spiky.... But always distractingly cute....
What an educator ‼️🤔😀👍🏻
Just so you know, that isn't a barrel roll but instead is more related to a aileron roll. Barrel roll is called that because you do a loop that follow the outline of a cylinder, or a barrel shape. An aileron roll is one that you rotate the aircraft so that the nose is the center point for the rotational axis. Also I would like to add that the type specimen of appalachiosaurus has evidence of a failed deinosuchus attack when it was younger.
Scary big
There he is ❤
I think purussaurus would be heavier than deinosuchus but maybe not longer.
After seeing their domination of Albertosaurus in Prehistoric Park, Deinosuchus are not a species to be sneezed at. Quite interesting that these giants didn't live past 73 million years ago. If remains are found in the Maastrichtian, that would make for a truly terrifying time...
Deinosuchus would be the terrified one lmao, it would have to contend with mosasaurus and tylosaurus much bigger and way more deadly in the water than deinosuchus, tylosaurus especially has been known to crack skulls open on other mosasurs. And the land wouldn't be safe either, giant herds of edmontosaurus are to big to take down and triceratops surely wouldn't mind goring a croc stuck in land. And deinosuchus would have a much harder time when the tyrannosaurs they used to feed on are now 10 tons with a bite to match.
Exactly. The Late Maastrichtian in North America usually has the biggest of the big.
@@rylandfrederick431 Deinosuchus is outright larger than mosasaurus and very close in size to mosasaurus. It's also larger than tyrannosaurus.
Just leaving a "Yikes!" for algo. As if things weren't bad enough on land -- where's a guy going to go to get a drink in peace?
I propose to rename the Simlodon Populator to S. Depopulator.
Gremlins?...
You would think a deinosuchus would be tougher/larger than a purrusaurus because it lived with dinosaurs
How do scientist find out about the size of animals and especially they re mass? If so how is it done?
This is probably more than likely the biggest one ever. But is this the same prehistoric animal as the Super Croc that often fought against the Titan Boa? Or is the Super Croc just another similar species?
they didnt even live in the same time period.
Comparing the two prehistoric crocks for size is like comparing the nile, and salt water crocks today.
I would say a solid maybe on the size/weight
Deniosuchus Hatcheri
On land, megs crocodilians stand no chance against mega theropods. Only if the theropods crossed the river, they would get hunted when in deep water.
This one is much bigger than any theropod by like 3 tonnes.
@@frost7463 🤣🤣🤣
If Deinosuchus was "the REAL apex predator," it probably wouldn't have an extinction coinciding with the evolution of T. rex (the real apex predator.)
Deinosuchus went extinct due to the shrinkage of the western interior seaway. Not anything to do with tyrannosaurus.
@@frost7463 is breakfast for a tyrannosaurus rex.!
It was another apex predator.
Godzilla was pretty BIG!
Super-sexy Henry Cavill's younger brother is heeeeeerrrre again!!!!!! YEAY!!! 🙂 ❤
How could you make a video on Deinosuchus & not show any clips from prehistoric park ?
I could've had a fight with it I'd have it me
GAWD I hope it was the biggest suchian ever. I'm havin' severe anxiety knowin' it ever existed, if somethin' bigger existed I'll never ever sleep again
Was it the biggest crocodilian in Earth's history? Very likely not. It already has some serious contenders, and who knows what we haven't discovered yet and what species didn't leave any fossils.
Lack of evidence is not evidence though
@@mechwarrior13 Nobody suggested it was.
Giant croc is breakfast for a tyrannosaurus rex.!
Deinosuchus reaches 14 tonnes and has a much more powerful bite than tyrannosaurus does.
@@frost7463 wrong
@@frost7463 "14 tonnes" no evidence
Sure maybe, if a T. rex could surprise it on land.
Maybe T-Rex would have bitten the top of the croc's skull the way a jaguar kills a caiman?
There's nothing scary about Deinosuchus... I have a 12 inch scale model on my desk in fact.
