Dino-Eating Croc Had a Salty Secret

Did you know there was once a bus-sized crocodile that munched on dinosaurs? Meet Deinosuchus, the OG 'terror croc.' Scientists just figured out its secret weapon: it could handle salt water, unlike today’s alligators. That meant it could roam ancient seas and snack wherever it wanted. Turns out, Deinosuchus isn’t even a true alligator relative—just a massive, salty outlier on the croc family tree. Imagine being a dino and seeing THAT coming! #Paleontology #Dinosaurs #ScienceNews #CrocodileFacts #AncientHistory #Science
