'Stomatosuchus is a giant crocodile (not a dinosaur) that lived in Africa during the Late Cretaceous Period (about 100-94 million years ago). It had a pouch in its lower jaw, like a pelican, which probably allowed it to scoop up and eat fish. The original fossils were destroyed by bombing during World War II, so only drawings and records survive.
