Deinosuchus was an extinct genus of eusuchian that lived in North America during the Cretaceous period and probably hunted hadrosaurs. It is estimated to have been 10.6 meters (35 feet) long and much larger than modern alligators, they are believed to have had lifespans of eighty years, far longer than most dinosaurs. Deinosuchus is sometimes referred to as Phobosuchus.

Recent studies show that Deinosuchus was not a true crocodilian and was classified as advanced eusuchian reptiles, just outside of the crocodilian branch.

During the movie while Eli Mills presents the Indoraptor via hologram, the Indominus rex hologram shows that it had Deinosuchus DNA used for the number of teeth it has. Also, in an unused scene, a skeleton of an unidentified crocodilian was shown, possibly that of a deceased Deinosuchus.
