Facts[]
It was a top predator that may have preyed on smaller dinosaurs, laying in wait in the shallows like modern crocodiles, and then lunging out of the water, dragging down their prey.
Enviroment/habitat[]
Deinosuchus lived in what is now Texas and neighboring areas 75 to 65 million years ago. Back then, the states were split into tree pieces surrounded by the Interior Seaway, a huge, shallow sea. It probably lived on coasts and in estuaries, hunting for prey. This habitat was most likely tropical to sub-tropical enriched with marches. Deinosuchus lived alongside dinosaurs such as Parasaurolophus and Tyrannosaurus (it may have competed with the latter).
