Ouranosaurus drink at a watering hole while a Sarcosuchus floats nearby
Three Ouranosaurus drink at a watering hole while a menacing Sarcosuchus floats nearby 110 million years ago in what is today Africa. The environment is moderately arid with Prickly Juniper and other hardy conifers dominating the ruddy landscape.
Ouranosaurus was a variety of Iguanodont, a group of large plant-eating dinosaurs. At about 24 feet long and 4 tons, Ouranosaurus was unusual in that its skeleton suggests it had a large hump on its back. The hump may have served as a reservoir for water and/or source of nutrition for lean times as they do for modern bison and camels.
Sarcosuchus, a distant relative of the crocodile, was one of the largest giant crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived. 30-40 feet long and weighing 8 to 10 tons, Sarcosuchus was almost twice as long as the modern saltwater crocodile. It would have been a formidable threat even to a beast as large as the Ouranosaurus

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back 110 million years ago to witness a mesmerizing scene in what is now Africa. Three majestic Ouranosaurus dinosaurs can be seen quenching their thirst at a watering hole, while an ominous Sarcosuchus lurks nearby, floating effortlessly in the water. The landscape surrounding them is moderately arid, with Prickly Juniper and other resilient conifers dominating the ruddy terrain. Ouranosaurus, belonging to the Iguanodont group of large herbivorous dinosaurs, was truly unique with its prominent hump on its back. This intriguing feature suggests that it may have served as a reservoir for water or nutrition during lean times, much like modern bison and camels rely on their humps. Sarcosuchus, a distant relative of crocodiles, was an immense predator that measured up to 30-40 feet long and weighed an astonishing 8 to 10 tons. Even for a creature as large as the Ouranosaurus, this formidable reptile posed a significant threat. The digitally generated image beautifully captures the essence of this prehistoric era; it showcases the intricate details of these ancient creatures against the backdrop of an arid climate. As we observe this illustration in vivid color and horizontal format, we cannot help but marvel at nature's wonders and reflect upon our planet's rich history.
