Kaprosuchus Strike Attack

Kaprosuchus is the BoarCroc, a long-legged crocodile relative from the Sahara with huge, tusk-like teeth. Mattel added it to the first Strike Attack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a dark grey and slate-blue figure with white tusks and a press-to-strike bite. Here is what the figure looks like, where the nickname comes from, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Nickname Card: Meet the BoarCroc

When Kaprosuchus was announced, it came with a nickname and a whole gang of strange crocodile cousins.

Nickname fileBoarCrocKaprosuchus saharicus
Announced: 2009Nickname: BoarCroc, for its boar-like tusksCousins: DuckCroc, RatCroc, DogCroc, PancakeCrocFound in: Niger, in the Sahara
Paul Sereno and Hans Larsson described five new Cretaceous crocodile relatives from the Sahara in one study, each with a catchy nickname. Kaprosuchus, with its big upper and lower fangs, became the BoarCroc.

Its eyes faced forward and its legs were long, so it may have chased prey on land rather than lurking in water.

What Is Strike Attack?

Strike Attack is the action assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has one built-in strike move: press the button on its back and it lunges into an attack, no batteries needed. They also have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.

Kaprosuchus came in the first Strike Attack wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Tuojiangosaurus, Guaibasaurus and Velociraptor.

About Kaprosuchus

Kaprosuchus was named in 2009 by Paul Sereno and Hans Larsson from a skull found in the Echkar Formation of Niger. The name means boar crocodile.

It lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 95 million years ago, and was about 6 m long.

Kaprosuchus was a mahajangasuchid, a crocodyliform related to crocodiles. Its big tusks and upturned snout suggest it hunted large prey, possibly including small dinosaurs.
