(CNN) A new study has shed more light on gigantic "terror crocodiles," that once roamed the world and preyed on dinosaurs with teeth "the size of bananas." The research, which was conducted in 2018, published this week in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. These new specimens we've examined reveal a bizarre, monstrous predator with teeth the size of bananas." Deinosuchus' name means "terror crocodiles," but the study's authors say that they more closely resembled alligators. However, the Deinosuchus snout was long and broad, and it had two mysterious holes at the tip of its snout, which differentiated it from both alligators and crocodiles.
