Although SuperCroc lived 110 million years ago, he left behind clues that prove he was the largest croc to roam the earth and that he ate dinosaurs! Find out why SuperCroc was so ferocious. Grab your field guide and see a SuperCroc replica skeleton, flesh model, fossil skull, expedition tent, National Geographic SuperCroc documentary and more at this exhibit created by Project Exploration. The exhibit, which includes a life-size reconstruction of the SuperCroc skeleton, engages visitors in the step-by-step research that brought this creature back to life. Various components highlight the team’s discoveries and allows them to explore the process of uncovering fossils and examine how scientists pieced them together using knowledge of modern alligators and crocodiles. The display even includes a tent that was used in the expedition.
