Ben G Thomas is also very good

Sarco seems to have a meatier jaw than gharials for its size, even if they're the closest analogue. That plus how the jaws get thicker at the tip makes me wonder if this was just to grab slightly bigger/tougher fish better or to snatch small critters from near the shore. (teeth/ability to grip at the tip good for grabbing things at the end of its reach, but increases in water resistance might cancel this benefit a bit when it only comes to nabbing creatures underwater)

I don't think it's accurate to compare the skull of Sarcosuchus with that of a gharial. They may be similar a first glance but they really aren't. The skull of Sarcosuchus is still a lot more robust than that the more slender snouted fish eating crocs it's often compared to. You also have to remember that dinosaurs were less dense than comparitively sized mammals. It probably wouldn't have required as much force to bring down.

Also a topic suggestion. There is a trend on KZread to refer to birds as "non avian dinosaurs". That always struck me as odd as would it also then not make sense to call mammals "non milk producing fish"? As you point out in this video it feels like Sarcosuchus should be considered a crocodile but it is technically not one, and I have also heard that the classification "fish" problematic for many reasons. Basically I suggest a video about Taxonomy and the problems about it.

from a biomechanics standpoint the most likely hunting strategy for such a animal without the ability to death role would be to use its teeth to latch onto victim and then use their size to drag them into deeper water and drown them, evidence for such a strategy could be the presence of conical teeth as opposed to any other type.

id never wanna be near one but always cool to see species of them that i dint know exist.

Only thing I can gather from all the videos I've been watching on crocodiles/alligators. Prehistoric Crocodilians went docile. Shutting down functions. Hybernated till conditions got better. Layed eggs that also took longer to hatch and the offspring were born smaller and smaller till we have what we have.

the video is really educational and very interesting ... i made a lego like custom of SARCOSUCHUS for my channel... im a fan of dinosaur and extinct creatures... I just hope i could also make a info video like this for my SARCOSUCHUS soon ... love it...

Sarcosuchus isn't a crocodile, not even closely related people just throw that around because it is easier to generalize since it looks like giant croc. This channel is one of the few to actually point this out
