Sarcosuchus - The Biggest Crocodile That Ever Existed? / Documentary (English/HD)

The African Sahara desert wasn't always sand and desolation. In the Cretaceous period it was lush and vibrant, overflowing with mighty freshwater rivers and lakes. Water is life, as we all know, but the waters of this period were also the host of Death in many, many forms.

Though none so fearsome as that of the Sarcosuchus Imperator - The Flesh Crocodile Emperor.

Now extinct, this enormous and grisly ghost of the waters could have easily dined its distant relatives, the crocodilians which haunt our rivers today. Dubbed the 'Supercroc' in 2001 by National Geographic, what do we truly know about this vicious predator?
