Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex must be the most well known dinosaur of all time,this carniverous creature ate dinosaurs just as big as itself and was one of the biggest reptiles to walk the earth. T-Rex is a dinosaur from the late cretaceous and lived in America around 65 million years ago.


It's Fossil

A T-Rex skeleton is quite strange for a lizard as it has two small stick like arms which are good for nothing at all. It had big powerful legs and a huge skull and jaw filled with razor sharp teeth.

Kaprosuchus (Boar-Croc)

Kaprosuchus (nicknamed boar croc) is not as well known as other prehistoric creatures. This unique form of crocodile had small horns on it's skull like a boar and was roughly about six metres in length, it probablyate fish as just like crocodiles it was aquatic. It possesses three sets of tusk-like teeth that project above and below the skull, one of which in the lower jaw fits into notches in upper jaw.

It's Fossil

The most fassinating thing about the Kaprosuchus's skeleton is it's skull, (which as I mentioned earlier is a mix of two different animals) the rest of the skeleton was almost exactly the same to our modern crocodile's.
