Scientists have reconstructed our most complete skeletal model ever of a monstrous 10 metre-long (32ft) crocodile known as a “dinosaur killer” that terrorised prehistoric waters about 76 million years ago.
The species was named Deinosuchus schwimmeri in 2020, in recognition of the decades-long contribution to understanding giant prehistoric crocodilians by palaeontologist David Schwimmer (not to be confused with the actor David Schwimmer, who played palaeontologist Ross Geller in Friends).
