If I had lived millions of years ago, I know for sure what animal I would not want to meet face to face - an ancient crocodile! To be exact, a 20-foot-long crocodile with three sets of fangs - like wild boar tusks. According to a recent researchers report, this beast had lived in northern Africa 100 million years ago. Kaprosuchus saharicus was a meat-eater with an armored snout for ramming and three sets of dagger-shaped fangs for slicing. One thing made this ancient crocodile unique and that was its tusks stuck out above and below the jaw like a modern warthog. This has never been seen before on any crocodile!
