SuperCroc

The tag line for this excellent documentary was:

"They Didn't Walk with Dinosaurs - They Ate Them!"

Crocodiles are one of the most ancient and unchanged life forms on earth. Crocodiles evolved in the late Triassic, 200 million years ago. Anyone seeing one of these ancient crocs would immediately recognize them as crocs - they are that unchanged.

This documentary is about the discovery of a 40 foot plus fossil of an ancient crocodile, more than large enough to eat many of the dinosaurs that were their contemporaries. Anyone who likes either crocs or dinosaurs would enjoy this National Geographic Special.

I would especially like to recommend it to any parents who have run out of dinosaur documentaries to feed the insatiable appetites of their dino hungry children.

If you like crocodiles or prehistoric animals in general then definitely you should see this documentary. Paleontologist Paul Sereno joins with reptile expert Brady Barr to capture some crocodiles to estimate the size of Sarcosuchus. This documentary has the awesome narration of actor Sam Neill. In the ending scene, Paul Sereno and Brady Barr visit the completed Sarcosuchus life size model and they have their awe facial expressions which is not surprising because that is what happpens when you see a massive animal. I had that same excitement just by watching this documentary and i wondered how much amazing it would be to see some extinct animals life size model in real. This is one of the documentaries that i have really enjoyed and i have seen it like 6 or 7 times or so. One of the greatest paleontologist Paul Sereno delivers an awesome statement when he sees the Sarcosuchus model. He says - "The most fundamental important thing about Sarcosuchus i think is to get people step back and think about 100 million years, have to look back at Sarcosuchus, think about how much time has gone before, think about how many worlds with strangest animals bigger and more fearsome than ever could have imagine existed before humans came up to reshape the surface of the Earth."
