This is a quick pencil sketch of the head of Sarcosuchus imperator, an enormous crocodyliform that swam and hunted in the waterways of northern Africa during the Early Cretaceous Period around 112 million years ago. Reaching up to 31 feet long and weighing over four tons, it has often been portrayed as a “super-croc” terrorizing the dinosaurs of its day, yet its narrow spoon-shaped snout more closely resembles that of the modern Indian gharial (which predominantly eats fish and turtles) than any crocodilians known to take larger prey. In keeping with the gharial analogy, I have chosen to give my Sarcosuchus a hollow bulbous protuberance on the tip of its snout similar to that of male gharials.
