Scientists have discovered a “hypercarnivore” crocodile-relative species in Argentina that terrorised dinosaurs in the region with its powerful jaw and big teeth.
The new species has been named Kostensuchus atrox, after the Patagonian wind known in the Tehuelche native language as the Kosten, and the Egyptian crocodile-headed god known as Souchos, with atrox meaning “fierce” or “harsh”.
