Sarcosuchus was a gigantic ancient relative of crocodiles, living in the Early Cretaceous Period around 112 million years ago. It could grow over 30 feet in length! It had a long, thin snout that ended in a thick, round projection known as a bulla. History: Sarcosuchus is thought to be among the largest of the Crocodyliformes, a group composed of crocodiles and their close ancestors. Fragments of its skeleton were found between 1946 and 1959, but in 1964 a nearly complete skull was discovered. More recent fossils found in the late 1990s and early 2000s provided even more complete skeletal information. Scientific Name: Sarcosuchus (Flesh Crocodile) Characteristics: This crocodile-like Sarcosuchus toy figure is hand-painted and full of scientifically accurate details, from the large hump (bulla) on its nose to the wide flat scutes on its back. It's posed in a walking stance, making its way across its tropical habitat.
