Suchomimus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived during the
Cretaceous period,
about 120 to 110 million years ago.
Suchomimus is believed to have been about 40 feet (12 meters) long, and probably weighed about, or over, 6 tons.
Like its relative Spinosaurus,
Suchomimus had a long snout and narrow jaws, and is believed to have eaten fish
as part of its diet. Also like Spinosaurus,
Suchomimus had tall extensions to its vertebrae which probably held up a fin or sail of skin, although
Suchomimus's fin was much more modest than that of
Spinosaurus.
