Indosuchus (lit. 'Indian crocodile') is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian, 70 to 66 million years ago) of what is now India. Like most theropods, Indosuchus was a bipedal carnivore. It was about 7 metres (23 ft) long, weighed about 1.2 tonnes (1.3 short tons), and had a crested skull, flattened on the top.
