With an adult skull measuring 6 feet (1 .8 m) in length, and an overall body length of 40 feet (12.2 m) from snout to tail, there are few living creatures that the Sarcosuchus doesn’t consider fair game. The reptilian predator will attack anything that comes within the grasp of its powerful jaws, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, young Sauropods, and humanoid. While the Sarcosuchus will usually let loose their grip on metal vehicles (eventually), some have learned that there is a soft and meaty morsel waiting inside, and will try to tear open armour to get at the pilot (and passengers) inside.
Characters clad in body armour may be swallowed whole or dragged underwater where the giant crocodile will gnaw on them like a bone, until the armour’s seams pop, drowning the person inside and allowing the croc to peel them like a crab. Sarcosuchus inhabit warm climate rivers and lakes, the largest of them living in the Florida everglades and the shallow bays and inlets around the barrier islands. They are also found along the shoreline of the gulf of Mexico.
Like their smaller alligator and crocodile cousins, the Sarcosuchus are ambush predators who lurk underwater or among the weeds close to shore, waiting for unsuspecting prey. The giant crocodile lunges from the water to grab prey that has come down to the edge for a drink or swim, or may have wandered a little too close just to take a look. The creature’s enormous size means it has a much greater threat distance, and they can actually gallop over short distances, running down prey with short endurance or slow speed. It might be an amusing sight to watch a crocodile gallop, as they look almost rabbit – like when their legs move, but if it’s coming in your direction, it’s no laughing matter. Not only can they sprint, but they also have an amazing ability to leap; able to propel themselves out of the water, from a flat resting position, nearly three – quarters of their entire body length. Combined with their ability to ambush prey, moving at a whopping 12 meters (39.4 feet!) per second, if it misses on the first bite, the second one will usually land home.
Sarcosuchus are in a constant battle with Spinosaurs for territory, as they both occupy the same aquatic ecological niche, creating an ever – present struggle for dominance between the two species. However, the Sarcosuchus has a distinct advantage in the water, while the Spinosaur has a distinct advantage on land, creating a balance between them. One thing is certain, however; that they both have an extremely hostile reaction to sharks invading their aquatic domain.
ABILITIES
At home in the water and on dry land much like the modem crocodile or alligator. Sarcosuchus have a natural Swimming ability aided by their powerful tail and can hold their breath underwater for one hour. While submerged, they have a natural Prowl ability. They have good vision and sense of smell, using both to Track prey.
HABITAT
Found living throughout Swamps in the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico region of North America, as well as Africa and South East Asia. They are particularly common in the Florida peninsula and the barrier islands.
