Carcharodontosaurus

Carcharodontosaurus
Name means: Shark tooth lizard

Weight: up to 4 tons
Length: 40 ft (12 m)
Diet: Carnivore (meat eater)
When: 93-100 million years ago
Where: Morocco
Prey: Oranosaurus
Basic info: This is the African version of the predator Giganotosaurus. It had a massive head as long as an adult man is tall, Long arms for manipulating it's prey, two powerful legs, and a long tail for balancing. This could have been the largest predator that ever lived, but more specimens need to be found before it can be known for sure. One thing is certain... you wouldn't ever want to run into this dinosaur!!!
