Ceratosuchops

Dubbed the “horned crocodile-faced hell heron,” this British spinosaurid hunted like modern wading birds. Named in 2021, Ceratosuchops sported low horns above its eyes and a crocodile-like snout perfect for catching fish and small prey. The Early Cretaceous predator stalked ancient wetlands on the Isle of Wight. Its discovery shows Europe hosted diverse semi-aquatic dinosaurs adapted to marsh environments.
