Description The Kaprosuchus from Schleich DINOSAURS was named after its teeth and head shape: its name means âboar crocodile.â The animal lived in the Late Cretaceous period, probably primarily on land where it hunted small animals. So far only one skull of the animal has been found in the Sahara, so scientists can only guess at its actual appearance. Itâs estimated that the dinosaur was around 6 m long.
