	SuperCroc - Discover the world's largest crocodile, Sarcosuchus, found by paleontologist Paul Sereno
		SuperCroc - Discover the world's largest crocodile, Sarcosuchus, found by paleontologist Paul Sereno
		Based on measurements of the skulls and bones, and comparison to recent crocs, Sarcosuchus grew to lengths of 37-40 feet.
		This is a world record for a croc, hence, "SuperCroc!" It is twice as long as the largest living croc on record.

	SuperCroc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The long, thin snout of the SuperCroc is very similar to the thin snouts of the gharial, false gharial, and the slender-snouted crocodile, all of which are nearly exclusive fish-eaters, and incapable of tackling large prey.
		The SuperCroc remains are from several individuals, and include a spine (vertebrae), limb bones, hip bones (a pelvic girdle), the bony armored plates that ran down its back (scutes), and more than a half-dozen skulls.
		The length of the SuperCroc is the average of the expected length of the narrow-snouted gharial and the intermediate-snouted saltwater crocodile, while the mass is the expected mass of a saltie.

	What a croc! Scientists discover supersized reptile \| csmonitor.com
		During SuperCroc's heyday, the continents of Africa and South America were still joined at the geophysical hip.
		SuperCroc's jaw and teeth arrangement, however, is more suited to puncturing and crushing a wider variety of prey.
		Trying to imagine how SuperCroc would have behaved, he says, is difficult, given the experience most people have seeing crocodiles laying about on concrete at zoos.

		Nicknamed the SuperCroc, the prehistoric Sarcosuchus imperator (pronounced SAR-koh-SOO-kiss IM-peh-RAH-tor, and meaning "flesh crocodile emperor") from the early Cretaceous of Africa is one of the largest giant crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived.
		When fully mature, the SuperCroc was as long as a city bus (11–12 m, or 37–40 ft), and weighed up to 8,000 kg (8.8 short tons), as much as the largest known terrestrial carnivore, the dinosaur Gigantosaurus.
		Like a gharial, the SuperCroc had a air cell in a bony protrusion at the tip of its snout (a bulla), which might have augmented its sense of smell, or been used for a variety of vocalizations.

	Chicago Sun-Times: Prehistoric 'SuperCroc' was 10 tons
		Sereno discovered SuperCroc during a 2000 expedition to the Sahara Desert in the West African country of Niger, once a lush river valley.
		Sereno estimates SuperCroc was 37 feet to 40 feet long and weighed as much as 10 tons.
		SuperCroc's eye sockets were tilted upward, enabling it to look for prey on the shoreline while 95 percent of its body was hidden under water.

		Sereno led the first expedition to Gadoufaoua, Niger in 1997 where the two-meter fossilized giant skull of SuperCroc was excavated in the Sahara, along with 18,000 kilograms of fossils.
		Sereno determined that a mature SuperCroc took as long as 50 to 60 years to reach an adult length of up to 11 metres and a weight of as much as 10 tons which is 10 times that of any living crocodile.
		From Monday November 26, 4.00 pm, the SuperCroc exhibition which includes the life-size replica and features interactive elements including family activities on the weekends will be at the New World Plaza's Ground Floor at New World Center, Tsim Sha Tsui.

		It could be a creature out of nightmare, but with its 100 teeth, its armor plating and its size the length of a bus, the skeleton on display at the National Geographic Society in Washington DC is clearly ultra-real.
		"SuperCroc is the nickname for perhaps the largest crocodile that ever evolved, and it evolved about halfway through the Dinosaur Era, about 110 million years ago," says Mr.
		Now this ponderous animal, 12 meters long as well, was living in the same environment, fishing in the same rivers as the SuperCroc Sarcosurus.

	SuperCroc Lives!
		Sarcosuchus imperator, better known as SuperCroc, was a forty-foot long, ten-ton crocodile that lived 110 million years ago in what is now the Sahara Desert.
		Once SuperCroc was taken to the airport in jeeps, it was shipped off to the United States.
		Sereno thought that many of SuperCroc's habits would be similar to the ones of today's crocodiles.

		He found fossilized teeth and armor plates of what appeared to be a giant crocodile while on several prospecting missions to the Sahara in the 1940s and 1950s.
		The longest bone in the SuperCroc's skeleton is the femur (Same is the case with Homo sapiens).
		Hence, the name "SuperCroc." It is twice as long as the largest living croc on record.

		SuperCroc — whose scientific name is Sarcosuchus imperator, Latin for “flesh crocodile emperor” — stalked the rivers of Africa some 110 million years ago, devouring dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes.
		Then, in a fraction of a second, SuperCroc would snap its head around, crush the victim in its jaws and drag it into the water for the kill.
		SuperCroc was kind of dumb, but plenty smart enough to be a sly predator.

		In SuperCroc, premiering December 9, 2001 on the National Geographic Channel, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and paleontologist Dr. Paul Sereno discovers the 110-million-year-old fossils of a giant, ancient crocodilian in Niger, Africa.
		SuperCroc takes viewers to remote locations around the world as Dr. Barr and Dr. Sereno use strength, courage and quick reflexes to capture, measure and release various species of crocs, all within their natural habitats.
		In addition to the television program, SuperCroc is also the focus of an article in the December edition of National Geographic magazine, a web site on nationalgeographic.com and several touring exhibits.

		Uncovering the Sarcosuchus imperator (SuperCroc) was a monumental task since man is dwarfed by even one limb of the creature, Sereno explained.
		Besides a true-to-size replica of SuperCroc and its 36-foot foe, Suchomimus tenerenis, a fearsome fish-eating predatory dinosaur, the exhibit includes tents, camping equipment, and a reconstruction of a SuperCroc egg nest as well as embryos and eggs of living crocodile species.
		There is SuperCroc skull that is still in one of the jackets used to move it in the field, and in one of the exhibit’s tents plays an NBC film showing the process of the find.

		In the parched Sahara desert, Dr. Paul Sereno uncovers the skull of a ten-ton giant SuperCroc, the size of a school bus and one of the largest crocs to have lived.
		Since they took the lazy way out, and simply followed some present day archaeologists and croc-workers, the least they could have done was to offer us a mega-million dollar computer recreation of these supercrocs in action in their native environment.
		Praise is certainly due to the amazing sculpting of what the supercroc would have looked like in comparison to mere human beings but, overall, too much time was spent on looking at the self-glorification of the presenters rather than the awesome glory of the supercroc.

		We are almost certain that SuperCroc also had scales on it's skin as well, but these aren't preserved as easily as bones and so we haven't been able to find any yet.
		GRAY: Without finding an actual fossilized nest of SuperCroc eggs, we can't say for sure how many one would have laid, nor can we really ever know how they cared for their babies.
		However, the overall shape of SuperCroc's body and the environment that it lived in were very similar to many modern crocodilians and we can make pretty good guesses about how SuperCroc lived based on these modern relatives.

		From their find, Sereno believes SuperCroc weighed as much as ten tons and measured as long as 40 feet (12 meters).
		They’re studying today’s tiny-by-comparison crocodilians—alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and gavials—to learn more about the giant SuperCroc, which is undoubtedly one of the largest crocs that ever lived.
