Deinosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodilian related to the modern alligator that lived 82 to 73 million years ago , during the late Cretaceous period. The name translates as "terrible crocodile", A relative of modern alligators, it was the length of a school bus and six times the weight of the largest saltwater crocodiles. It is believed to have had a bite force of up to 18,000 newtons (4,000 lbs of force), about twice that of modern alligators.

Morphology

Despise its huge size, the deinosuchus was not that diferent from modern crocodiles with an Alligator like snout, The skull of Deinosuchus itself was of a unique shape not seen in any other living or extinct crocodilians; the skull was broad, but inflated at the front around the nares.

Habitat

It Lived in the Western Interior Seaway in the Middle of Today's North America, The distribution of Deinosuchus specimens indicates these giant crocodilians may have preferred estuarine environments.

Diet

Deinosuchus because of its huge size its believe he manly hunted dinosaurs as food, its probably dined on ornithopods like the Kritosaurus, Fish and Sea Turtles, it is believed that the Deinosuchus hunted like modern alligators and could even do the Death Roll.

    Kind of strange to know that we have a humane, fail-proof, and effective way of executing someone (helium/nitrogen asphyxiation), but we use the needlessly cruel and inconsistent methods like lethal injection, even as it gets more and more difficult to procure the drugs. wtf is with that?

    I'm anti-death penalty of course, but sometimes I just find the depravity of the world as it is today just staggering. Maybe I'm missing something, idk.

      People have been killing each other for thousands of years, and we've gotten pretty good at it. Hanging, firing squad, thrown into a volcano, guillotine, all of these are near instant and damn near painless if you know what you're doing. It's just that they all offend the liberal sensibilities so we have to do bullshit like make a cocktail of three different drugs which barely works.

      the guillotine is a a pretty good way as well. it certainly had its flaws, mostly related to figuring out the ideal edge geometry of the blade and stuff to make sure it would actually slice cleanly through, but once those kinks were worked out the only real concern left is the possibility that people are still conscious for a few seconds after being decapitated. which is a pretty big flaw tbf, because it's very difficult to prove one way or the other
