Suchomimus was perfectly adapted for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Its elongated jaws, studded with sharp, conical teeth, made it a formidable fisherman. Fossils of this dinosaur have been found in the famous Elrhaz Formation of Niger (125-112 million years ago) providing crucial insights into the ecosystems of the ancient river systems that existed back then.
