Sarcosuchus: The River Monster of Gondwana

This episode explores the Sarcosuchus, a massive predator that lived around 120 million years ago. Resembling modern crocodiles but far larger, it reached lengths of up to 12 meters and weighed far more than any living crocodilian. As it matured, its diet shifted from fish to large dinosaurs, aided by a widening, powerful snout. Protected by thick bony scales, Sarcosuchus dominated ancient waterways, with lifespans possibly reaching decades and taking up to sixty years to attain full size. Fossil discoveries in North Africa continue to reveal insights into how this river monster hunted and thrived in its prehistoric environment.
