Despite its large size, the overall appearance of Deinosuchus was not considerably different from that of modern crocodilians. Deinosuchus had an alligator-like, broad snout, with a slightly bulbous tip. [8] Each premaxilla contained four teeth, with the pair nearest to the tip of the snout being significantly smaller than the other two. [13]
Deinosuchus reached its largest size in its western habitat, but the eastern populations were far more abundant. Deinosuchus was probably capable of killing and eating large dinosaurs . It may have also fed upon sea turtles , fish, and other aquatic and terrestrial prey.
Iguanas vary considerably in size and form, but even the smallest lizards in this family are still quite large. Many sources describe the green iguana ( Iguana iguana ) as the largest iguanid , often reaching lengths up to 1.5 metres (4.91 ft) and masses of 4 kg (8.8 lb), [ 75 ] and with a maximum length of 2 m (6.6 ft) and a mass of 8 kg (18 ...

Deinocheirus (/ ˌ d aɪ n oʊ ˈ k aɪ r ə s / DY-no-KY-rəs) is a genus of large ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago.
