Jim Wynorski might be pitting Dinocroc against Supergator in his upcoming monster pic<\/a> Dinocroc vs Supergator<\/em> (US-2009; dir. Jim Wynorski), but it seems that Dinocroc has had plenty of practice on actual dinosaurs — and big ones, too!<\/p>\n

In a recent National Geographic Channel doco, paleontologist and Explorer-in-Residence Paul Sereno revealed the existence of several species of dino-crocs — or, more accurately, prehistoric crocodiles — one of which reached an enormous size during the Cretaceous Period and frequently feasted on dinosaurs the size of a T-Rex. It is named Sarcosuchus Imperator<\/em>, or “flesh crocodile emperor” and nicknamed “Super Croc”, here rendered facing off a Suchomimus.

At 40 feet long and weighed about ten tons, Super Croc is thought to have been bulky and powerful enough to down large dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

Other fearsome dinocrocs include the “Boar Croc” (next two images below) and the “Pancake Croc” (image three below):<\/p>\n

Other dinocrocs were somewhat smaller but look pretty cool. Check them out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
