Killer Crocs

          

                                  Introduction

  Super crocs lived with the dinosaurs. They ate dinosaurs crabs and fish.They were the strongest animals but still no one knows how they went extinct.They had scaly Armour and there  It was huge and it weighed 10 tons. Animals were scared to walk near the water. They were the rulers of the past a long time ago. They only lived for about 1 to two million years but other animls respected it. If it needed to it could eat a whole T-Rex or any other strong dinosaurs in the past.  It was truly a monster anything in its way would instantly be eaten. Also any animals family would be killed and eaten.                             
                                     My Opinion

         In my opinion Super Croc was the fiercest animal in the dinosaur age according to Peter Winkler's article.I think if super croc lived now only half the population would be alive.I think super croc would still be alive but no one knows how they came extinct I think super croc. Got extinct because they were so old. I think super croc  were  one of the strongest species ever. Super Croc was scary to be around  If you stepped into the water you would be never to  be seen again. If super croc would still be alive  I would never be near any water. If super croc were still aliveI would stay away from it at all costs
