Indosuchus raptorius

Description

Indosuchus raptorius, meaning indian crocodile, was relatively big, Abelisaurid from India. It was 6-7 metres long, and weight up to 2 tons. It had alonger skull than other Abelisaurids and was described by Huene and Matleyi in 1933. Indosuchus was one of the biggest indian meat eaters of its time and hunted mid sized dinosaurs , in packs he maybe attackedeven sauropods. However its not proofed that abelisaurids hunted in packs, though some experts think so. Indosaurus lived during the late cretaceous. Only few parts of his skeleton were found so experts first thought it was a Tyrannosaurid, but its nowadays considered to be a Abelisaurid. Indosuchus lived together with Indosaurus , another big Abelisaurid from the same region- some experts think they are the same species. On my picture, Indosuchus is shown eating a small sauropod he killed. In the middle right corner, you can see a small Jubbulpuria, a liitle meat eater , waiting for the remains of the carcass.
