Aristosuchus was a small coelurosaurian dinosaur, whose name was derived from the Greek ąριστον (bravest, best, noblest) and σουχος, the Ancient Greek corruption of the name of theEgyptian crocodile-headed god). It shared many characteristics with birds. Aristosuchus was a bipedal, meat-eating (carnivorous) theropod dinosaur. This predator is thought to have been about 2 meters in length (about 6.5 feet) and is estimated to have weighed about 30 kg (about 65 lbs). It was found in deposits from the Early Cretaceous of England, on the Isle of Wight, i.e. from about 125 million years ago.
