Suchomimus tenerensis

["Caleb Lewis" <christianwarior7@hotmail.com>]

Guys and gals,

   Recently, I have read an article about Suchomimus, the recently 
discovered therapod from Africa. I have my doubts and thoughts on this 
one.
   I personally have my doubts about the statement saying that it was a 
fish-eater. Well, that's a pretty big dinosaur to be eating fish. I 
mean, would a dinosaur that big have evolved to eat fish? Personally, I 
have my doubts. This dinosaur looks as if it could bring down a 
herbivore equal to its own size, if not larger. Or maybe it waited 
underwater, with its crocodile-like snout giving it the appearance of a 
log or something, like modern crocs, and then attacking its prey when it 
came to drik, much like modern crocs also. Sure, it would have to be 
pretty deep, but hey, the bigger the water source, the more the prey, 
right? 
   Sure, there were fish remain inside the fossilized specimen, but I'm 
sure other therapods, unlike this one, would grab a fish if they could, 
and there was no other game. Don't forget though, that assuming the 
behavoral patterns of creatures that have been extinct so long could be 
considered futile, because they may have had extremely different 
behaviors than animals today do. But anyways, I think that I have said 
enough for one e-mail, let's here your rebuttal.
