Indosuchus is a genus of dinosaur belonging to the group Abelisauridae. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 65 million years ago. The first fossils of Indosuchus were discovered in India, providing a glimpse into the ancient fauna of the Indian subcontinent.

Indosuchus was a formidable predator, measuring around 20 feet (6 meters) in length. As a member of the Abelisauridae group, it showed a few features that differed it from other dinosaurs. It had a crested skull that was leveled even on the top.

Indosuchus is distinguished by its robust skull, housing powerful jaws adorned with sharp, serrated teeth, suggesting it was an active carnivore, hunting a diverse range of prey in its environment.

The placement of Indosuchus has been somewhat uncertain due to the limited discovery of skull elements. Initially, von Huene assigned it to the Allosauridae, while Alick Walker believed it to be a member of the Tyrannosauridae in 1964. However, the identification of other abelisaurids like Carnotaurus played a pivotal role in clarifying its position. In 1986, José Bonaparte confirmed that Indosuchus was indeed an abelisaurid, a placement that is now relatively established.
