History Fact

100 million years ago, the Sahara Desert was inhabited by galloping crocodiles.

Back then, the Sahara Desert was a lush plain full of life – and also full of predators.

In 2009, fossil hunters found the remains of crocodiles.

These remains had large land-going legs that were capable of galloping across the land at breakneck speeds. 

They could easily snap up unlucky dinosaurs in their jaws!
